Description

An exhilarating, immersive journey into the Exclusion Zone of Chornobyl with the disaffected adventurers who illegally stalk its ruins

Amidst the toxic desolation of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, a subculture has sprung up. They call themselves ‘stalkers’: wild adventurers who sneak past border controls to get lost in this apocalyptic environment of dense swampland and rusted ruins. Markiyan Kamysh is one, and here he takes us on a hallucinatory journey into an alien world.

With reckless energy, Kamysh tells of escapes from the police, hedonistic nights in bombed-out buildings and the spectral beauty that got him hooked on returning to the Zone.

Brash, immersive and ecstatic, this is a singular document of a dystopian reality.
