Pierpaolo Mittica’s project looks upon Chernobyl not as a relic of the past, but as a highly active, potent environment where radiation is understood both physically and socio-politically. His photographs illuminate the ongoing struggle of residents living under the dual threat of radiation and war, portraying Chernobyl as a complex arena where historical trauma continues to impact the mind and body. This exhibition places the viewer directly before a reality where the simple passage of time fails to offer remediation, only deepening the existing breach.
