Description: Hannibal, 2023. 27.5 x 35.5 cm. 143 pp. Clothbound. Illustrated in b/w and colour throughout. - Signed - A remote area of Kazakhstan was once home to the Soviet Union's main nuclear testing facilities. It became known as 'The Polygon'. On this site more than 450 nuclear tests took place from 1949 to 1989, without regard for their effect on the local population and the environment. The full impact of the radiation only became apparent after the test site closed in the early 1990s. - Today, this corner of the Kazakh steppe is a place of desolation and decay. The landscape is dotted with strange lakes formed by nuclear explosions and the remains of giant concrete structures. It seems uninhabitable, and yet people live there, demonstrating incredible resilience. - New copy
