Health of the people solargraph – Archival quality print, frame not included

Description

HEALTH OF THE NATION – WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY says the writing on the roof of hospital in Pripyat.

I installed one of my pinhole cameras opposite the main Pripyat Hospital building to capture an entire year of the sun passing over the rooftops.

It was here that the first victims of the Chernobyl disaster arrived – night shift workers and firefighters from the nearby units. Sent to certain death without adequate protective gear, they fought the uncontrollable fire, inhaling radioactive dust right next to the burning reactor core.

Each print is produced using a 10-colour archival pigment printing process on heavyweight 300gsm pearlescent photographic paper. For works larger than 13″x19″ please contact me directly.
