We visited the Impressions gallery in Bradford and looked at
the Liquid Land: Legacies of Oil and Power exhibition by Rena Effendi. The
images were about the Chernobyl disaster and shows the aftermath of the nuclear
disaster and the women that went back to live there where the food still
contains dangerous levels of radiation. Other images show communities living
amongst oil spills in Azerbaijan where Effendi was born.
I really liked the exhibition as you could see the
devastation of what the radiation did and she captured the sadness in the
ladies eyes. It was quite sad to look at to see the people living in those
conditions. The oil spills were also very sad to look at as you see the small
children living in such ruin and the pictures of the oil in the sea were very
powerful. I like documentary work and this exhibition was like a report in the
news of what was happening in those places.
