Riding Through the Dead Zone
Some people find solitude in a quiet room; others like to lose themselves in a crowd of anonymous passers-by on a busy street. One woman has a better idea: grab a Geiger counter, hop on a motorcycle, and cruise the Chernobyl disaster area.
Her account is a strangely satisfying combination of haunting photographs and topical commentary (in broken English) with occasional light-hearted asides. Even though the accident occurred only eighteen years ago, many of the scenes have an eerie, post-apocalyptic feel.
But maybe I’m just recalling one Fallout cutscene too many.
