BOLOGNA - Fourteen photos taken outside and inside the Chernobyl plant, where the worst nuclear disaster in history occurred on April 26, 1986, with repercussions not only in the Soviet Union but also in Western Europe. It is the exhibition 'Chernobyl: the long shadow', photo by Gerd Ludwig, scheduled from January 23 to February 15 at the Ono Arte gallery in Bologna. This is the presentation of a wider project on the fragility of the world in which we live and on the exploitation of energy resources that will result in a large staff.
Ludwig photographed and witnessed the dissolution of the USSR for ten years and in 1993 he visited Chernobyl, a milestone in end-millennium photojournalism. In 2005, with the second trip, he was the first western photographer to descend into the maze of the power plant up to reactor 4, still contaminated. In 2011 and 2014 he returned to document not only the state of the plant, but also the lives of people and the surrounding environment.
