Magnum: Paul Fusco “Chernobyl Legacy”

Visit Magnum in motion: Chernobyl Essay.


Chernobyl, 26 April 1986 01:23:45 a.m. (local time).

I remember a lot of this tragedy when it happened.
I was very young back then. I remember the images.
I don’t remember if I was impressed or horrifyed, or even both.

I never got the idea of the consequences,
although a lot of people talked about the 3 eyes fish,… as a joke.
Sadly it was not a joke, and it was not happening only with fishes.

Another Chernobyl photography work belongs to Nadav Kander.
“CHERNOBYL, HALF LIFE” a trip to a ghost town in our days.
After 20 years passed by, Nadar walked through Pripyat.
