Ukraine. Province of Kiev. Slavutich. A woman, seated in a car, waits for a couple who just got married at the town hall. Two hearts made of paper are taped on the coach's hood. Heart-shaped floral arrangement. The town of Slavutich was created after the catastrophe which took place on april 1986 at 1.23 am with the explosion of reactor No 4 at Chernobyl atomic power station. Slavutich is distant 60 km from the power station and was newly built after the evacuation of the inhabitants from both towns of Pripyat and Chernobyl. © 2006 Didier Ruef
