#Repost @trnsmssn_tvc...Our next project at Transmission:⁠'Health and Safety Posters from the Jupiter Factory Complex, Chernobyl' by Tom Elkins⁠------------⁠The Jupiter Factory complex lies on the outskirts of Pripyat, the city evacuated in 1986 as a result of the Chernobyl disaster. A series of large multi-storied buildings make up the area which, like most of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, has been abandoned and left to the elements. Scattered throughout the different buildings at Jupiter are various health and safety posters. Some remain intact, others have succumbed to the years of neglect, a palimpsest of vital messages rendered inconsequential by the scale of the disaster. The design and the intended messages of these posters is often obscure, bordering on abstract. Some are clearer. Some take on a playful tone – a cartoon rendering of somebody slipping on water. Others convey more sinister information, bearing atomic symbols and gas masks, foreshadowing what would eventually happen in a way that nobody could have foreseen. They are surrounded by broken rusted machines, smashed windows, obfuscated activities.⁠⁠⁠@threepractices⁠#photography #architecture #urbanisation #chernobyl #nuclear
