The photo-led report by Greenpeace was released responding to the Russian military’s invasion to nuclear sites in Ukraine in 2022. It consists mainly of images of Chornobyl photographed over the decades, from Greenpeace’s media archive. The report visualised the consequences of decisions taken decades apart regarding energy and war by the Soviet / Russian government, both of which had enormous impact on the lives of millions. Selecting, editing, and the layout order of images for this project were significant in the telling of this story. The full version can be seen here.
