Pripyat

The video features a compilation of still photographs by Robert Polidori from his book, Zones of Exclusion: Pripyat and Chernobyl.

The video is one of Ash’s more visually striking and concept-driven pieces, built around the haunting atmosphere of the abandoned city it takes its name from. Drawing on the legacy of Chernobyl disaster, the video leans into imagery of desolation, decay, and the eerie stillness left behind when a place is suddenly emptied of life.
