ACID, Danila Tkachenko
Today mankind is surrounded by a number of invisible threats capable of causing significant damage to the human body or fully destroying it. Air pollution, viruses, radiation – while they cannot be seen or felt when we are exposed to them, at the same time they are capable of having a considerable impact on the environment and transforming it.
I use projectors with a green filter to expose and identify places contaminated by radiation. The additional element in the form of a splash of colour on the light destroys the formal photographic look, representing an invisible threat, and thereby rendering the image more realistic.
The acidic colour is frequently used to portray toxicity in mass culture. It is representative of part of the public’s fantasy about disaster and has little in common with forms of toxic pollution, as the latter are invisible.
One of the most important functions of fantasy is the aspect of psychological defence: repression, regression and denial.
This protective mechanism kicks in when we come into contact with apocalyptic content, as we convince ourselves that a global catastrophe is intrinsically unreal, while a manmade threat or mysophobia represents merely remote possibilities and projections from the here and now.
The fantasy of disaster consequently demonstrates that we don’t believe in disaster. However, it represents specifically one way in which we perceive the world.
By making the fictional representation clash with actual pollution, I try to return to the real world from the imaginary plane.
Radioactive city (Kazakhstan), 2019 : City in the immediate proximity of a nuclear weapon testing site. The city would regularly be covered by waves of radiation as a result of nuclear tests. The number of children born with cancer and deformities increased in the city. Over time the city’s citizens acquired dosimeters and the danger became even clearer to the general public. People gradually started leaving the city until it died once and for all.
Ionosphere observatory (Ukraine), 2019 : To create a weather-control weapon of mass destruction, scientists looked for ways to affect the ionosphere. The developers assumed that a vast antenna might be able to puncture holes in the protective shield of the atmosphere, and that as a result solar radiation could affect the natural phenomena of the territory of the opponent.
Stalagmite at a nuclear power plant (Ukraine), 2019 : Stalagmite found by accident at one of the nuclear power plant units where the greatest nuclear disaster globally happened. As a result of human error and defects in the design of the RBMK-100 reactor, the reactor exploded in 1986, resulting in the contamination of 200,000 square kilometres of land. The total number of victims of the accident reached four million people. The radioactive cloud formed during the accident circled the whole world three times.
Contaminated church (Russia), 2019 : Abandoned 18th century church exposed to radiation after an accident in 1957 that occurred due to the explosion of a radioactive waste container. The contaminated area equalled 23,000 square kilometres affecting 270,000 people in 217 population centres.

De leurs photos de Georgie, Val et Lucy nous ont montré celles prises dans ce complexe de sanatoriums construits durant la période soviétique, abandonnés mais désormais hantés par des réfugiés géorgiens d’Abkhazie.
Dans le jardin d’images de Saint Benoît, une exposition de Dimitri Bourriau qui donne à voir les lieux abandonnés qu’il a explorés avec son appareil photo, parmi lesquelles on a trouvé deux tirages de photos prises à Tskaltubo en Georgie et de Buzludzha en Bulgarie déjà remarqué par un travail de Danila Tkachenko documentant les vestiges de l’échec de l’utopie communiste.

For many spared the direct impacts of the war in Ukraine, the conflict has become a distant concern — distressing and unsettling, yet no longer disruptive to daily life. To bring awareness back to the war’s human cost, Russian visual artist Danila Tkachenko installed enlarged photographs documenting the destruction next to famous landmarks in eight European cities, and then photographed Ukrainian refugees against the backdrop of these images. Meduza shares the project, titled “Inversion.”
Olena, a 92-year-old former teacher, against the backdrop of a photograph showing a destroyed apartment building in Borodyanka, Kyiv region. The photograph, taken by Maxim Dondyuk, was placed in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany.
Twenty-five-year-old model Viktoriia stands in front of a photograph showing another destroyed apartment building in Borodyanka. Captured by photojournalist Yuliа Ovsyannikova, the image was displayed by the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, France.
Two-year-old Alina is held by her mother in front of an image of a destroyed bridge in Irpin, Kyiv region. The photograph, taken by Mexican photojournalist Narciso Contreras, was placed on the Charles Bridge in Prague, Czechia.
Fedir, a 32-year-old lawyer, stands before a photograph showing a bombed school in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. The image, captured by Portuguese photojournalist Miguel A. Lopes, was displayed in front of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.
Seven-year-old Khrystyna in front of a photograph of the bombed-out city of Mariupol, taken by Evgeniy Maloletka. The photograph was displayed on Montmartre hill in Paris, France.
Ivan, a 23-year-old designer, stands in front of a photograph taken by Mykhaylo Palinchak. The image shows a church in the liberated village of Bohorodychne in Ukraine’s Donetsk region. Pisa, Italy.
Anna, a 30-year-old real estate manager, stands in front of a photograph of ruins in Chernihiv, taken by Mykhaylo Palinchak. Paris, France.
Forty-year-old makeup artist Yuliia stands in front of a photograph of the destroyed Donetsk Airport, taken by Vasily Maximov. Versailles, France.
Nataliia, a 39-year-old editor, stands in front of a photograph taken by Maxim Dondyuk, showing a bombed apartment building in a settlement in Ukraine’s Luhansk region. Milan, Italy.
Vladlena, a 25-year-old beautician, stands in front of a photograph of the world’s largest aircraft, Mriya (“dream” in Ukrainian), which was destroyed at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. The photograph, taken by Oleksii Furman, was displayed near the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy.
Eleven-year-old Oleksandr against the backdrop of a photograph showing destroyed apartment buildings in Izyum, Kharkiv region, taken by Evgeniy Maloletka. The photograph was placed next to the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France.
Anna, a 60-year-old dentist, stands in Vatican City in front of a photograph by French photojournalist Laurence Geai, taken in the village of Yatskivka, Donetsk region. Yatskivka was liberated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in September 2022.

The ultimate urban exploring
Russia must be the most incredible place for urban exploring. I've never been (in fact, I've only been urban exploring three times), but some of these places...not impossible, obviously, but nevertheless somehow both improbable and entirely unexpected. The photos I would take...I'd love to see someone make an urban exploration program for VR, so you can do it without getting arrested or shot or poisoned or bankrupting yourself with plane tickets.
