I Traveled To Pripyat Where The Chernobyl Catastrophy Hit To Find Forgotten Pianos (8 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

During the month of May 2017, I photographed the exclusion zone of Chernobyl in Ukraine. Within the site, and with the help of a private guide, I was able to photograph the pianos forgotten since the disaster. I wanted to capture a story, to bring back to life this instrument in its environment.

These photographs are part of my series “Requiem pour pianos”.

I'm probably missing something but if nobody was there to disturb them how come there are pieces missing, pianos turned over, and some reduced to rubble? I wouldn't think neglect alone would cause that much damage.

Wood goes bad if unprotected, a lot of the missing piece are just on the ground. Also it seems to have been a trend to have "open piano" in Pripyat. And finallly, there are hundreds of people going to Pripyat a year. Some respectful, trying to not change anything and some a*****e changing things/ removing things / ...
