The photographic series OBJECTS IN MIRROR MIGHT BE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR provides a view into the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone from a deer’s perspective. Through the use of a camera mounted to a deer’s antlers and pointed toward one of its eyes, images of the reflection in the deer’s eye show parts of the uninhabitable area 30 kilometres around the former nuclear power plant. >>
“What is then seen is the reflection of the landscape onto the animal’s retina: a mixture of an invisibly decaying but thriving natural ecosystem and the ruins left by the humans that once dominated this space, rejected infrastructures of a forgotten nuclear past.” (Julian Charrière) >>
