How to see pictures of "Hiroshima shadows" in Chernobyl
You will certainly see various examples of conceptual art as you walk along the Pripyat. The most famous are the "Hiroshima shadows". These are drawings, named so by analogy with the infamous phenomenon of the Japanese city of Hiroshima - the silhouettes of people remaining on the ground and walls of the city during the atomic bomb explosion in 1945.
