Infinite Wastelands, il disastro nucleare in quattro aree dell'ex Unione Sovietica
Curated by Greenpeace International
Photographer Robert Knoth and writer and broadcaster Antoinette de Jong have worked on a big project and campaign in partnership with Greenpeace International, on the four locations where nuclear disasters have taken place. At the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl-disaster the project stresses that Chernobyl was by no means exceptional. The project is very much linked to the current discussion about the climate change and the need to secure our energy supply of tomorrow. Already, a lot of what we use through privatized energy-companies in Europe stems from nuclear plants in Russia. The Russian nuclear industry however, has an appalling history of accidents, and of deliberately dumping nuclear materials straight into the environment. Many of the nuclear plants in use are unsafe and still contaminating large areas. The Chernobyl disaster, unfortunately, was not an exception. Quite the contrary is true: it is just another example in a series of devastating nuclear accidents that have taken place in the last 45 years. This photo-reportage has been made in four different locations to make clear that so far Russia has not acted in any responsible manner and has failed to protect its citizens against the dangers from having a nuclear industry. Every decade there is at least one serious incident with one of Russia's nuclear facilities. The last one took place in 1997 in Dimitrograv. The exhibition and book focus various issues: health and health care of millions people affected by radiation and the economical and social effects of the accidents in vast areas of the former Soviet Union.

During World War II, Baltermants covered major battles for Izvestia and for the Red Army newspaper Na Razgrom Vraga. He fought and photographe...
Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
