Yellow Cake Art – The Graffiti of Chernobyl

Yellow Cake Art Yellow cake is used in the preparation uranium fuel for nuclear reactors.

In 2006, twenty years after the Chernobyl disaster a group of seven artists from Russia, Belarus and Germany entered the abandoned city of Pripyat to create street art.  Their work was a tribute to the former inhabitants.  Unfortunately, barely six years later, many of the pieces are fading or falling victim to the elements.   Yellow Cake Art is a visual tour of the pieces I found while exploring Pripyat and developing my own work on nuclear landscapes.  This is a tribute to their work. You can see the entire slide show here: Yellow Cake Art
