-the Revelation 1
           (about the perfect image and
            the conception of the exhibition Echo of Silence)

10 years have passed while the mind has been trying
to conceive the thing happened in the whole its depth
radiation is similar to art
one can see a picture but there can be no image behind that
radiation has got its image but one cant see that physically
the unexposed white square of a photographic paper 
brought from the 30 km zone
one can probably count how many pieces of silver
in the photographic emulsion have changed their state
under the influence of another pieces but why
we don't count them every day in our bread or water
the white square of the photo paper
the script
April 26. 1986
(the Third Angel has blown?)
this is the perfect image of Chernobyl
all the rest are just details which can hardly even approximate
to the simplicity of the truth
details are for specialists
only the artist's soul is able
to build a bridge expanding the circle of people
not indifferent to the other's (?) disaster

-the Revelation 2
           (about photography)
who tells that photography is a criterion of objectivity, probably, believes that 

-the Revelation 3
            (professional)
it is desirable for a photographer that  there were as many sings of destruction
as possible and he regrets if nothing happens extraordinary
it is nice to be at the war

-the Revelation 4
           (about nature morte as a genre)
a strange feeling in deserted houses of Chernobyl
treading on the radioactive dirt which now you will have not only on your shoes
you suddenly realize that you are afraid much more to tread
on somebody's face in the photographs left on the floor

-the Revelation 5
              (about a phantom)
the  substance whose spirit has left from
it is destructed, reconstructing the natural way of things

-the  Revelation 6
               (about the people armed)
the people armed defense us from ourselves

-the revelation 7
                (about radiation)
plutonium 239 half-life is 24390 years
this is something unhuman

-the Revelation 8
                 (about the liquidators of the consequences
                  of the accident at the 4th block
                   of the Chernobyl nuclear station)
the liquidators are people too

-the Revelation  9
                  (about black hole)
black hole-this is when everything around is white

-the Revelation 10
                   (about white hole)
white hole- this is when everything inside is black
