Half life: documenting the struggle for existence in the atomic cities of the former USSR
Started in 2012, this on-going project by St Petersburg-based documentary photographer and filmmaker Maria Morina aims to explore the social landscape of Ukrainian cities involved in the nuclear power production chain. Morina shows youngsters drinking beer and children playing very close to some of the biggest nuclear power stations in the world. The project includes Zaporizhia, the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe, and one in Crimea which was abandoned by all but scrap collectors after it was discovered to be located on a geologically volatile site.
