April 26th 1986. The day a nightmare scenario became horrific reality: the day reactor block 4 of the Chernobyl atomic power station exploded.
The early summer heat, insufficient security measures and lack of knowledge and training exposed the emergency workers to extreme risk. One of them was the young artist Dmitrij Gutin.
He died just short of his 40th birthday, after many painful years of suffering the effects of radiation poisoning. It is a requiem for the often forgotten victims of the disaster and a caveat against putting blind trust in technological advancement.
