Thirty seven years after the Chernobyl disaster, radioactive contamination continues to impact communities. But as the source of the problem is invisible, the ongoing risks remain difficult to communicate. ⁣ ⁣ Photography exploring the impact of nuclear disasters often focuses on portraiture of victims, deserted landscapes, decaying buildings, or measurement readings on technical equipment – all of which are useful, but abstract and disconnected from the source of the problem. ⁣ ⁣ But by using a special ‘light painting’ technique with long exposure photography and a custom made, geiger counter-connected LED light, this project makes the invisible visible, measuring and displaying radiation levels in real-time, in the environments it exists in. ⁣ ⁣ The white light represents levels under 0.23uSv per hour (1mSv per year). Orange shows contamination levels elevated above this, up to 1.0uSv per hour (roughly 5mSv per year) - a range where protective measures to minimise radiation exposure ...
