This is an amazing project. When it happen I was a 12 years old kid and remember seeing those Russian fire fighters going inside this horrible site with barely no equipment. I remember seeing them on television 5 days later totaly burnt and about to die.
I hope people will never forget how bad and impactfull on the ecology is the nuclear energy. This is a fantastic project.
There is an amazing coffee table book from photographer Robert Polidori called Zone of exclusion: Pripyat and Chernobyl that shows the desolation after the disaster. Robert Polidori (enter the gallery and you’ll see a photo of the actual control room all rusty… Crazy!!!!)

Carlos Mare 139 Rodriguez is an internationally acclaimed artist/sculptor and pioneer in the art and culture of Hip Hop. Leading his generation into a new world of possibility with style writing sculpture, he pioneered a vision that had, before him, no reference outside of the painted subways of the time. Throughout his career as a sculpter, Mare 139 has consistently brought innovation to the genre’s aesthetic and vocabulary. Mare 139 earned the prestigeous 2006 Webby Award for his launch of the Hip Hop documentary Style Wars website. Style Wars has also garnered the COMMARTS/Communication Arts Award, Horizon Interactive Award, as well as SXSW/South by Southwest Interactive. Not only an award winner but an award designer, Mare 139 designed and created the award for the annual BET/Black Entertainment Award show, which is given annually to entertainers, athletes and actors. Recipients include Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jay Z, Prince Snoop Dog, Beyonce, Kobe Bryant, Usher, Serena Williams and many others. He also designed a G-Unit Award expressly for 50Cent given to him by fashion designer Marc Ecko. Other award projects include the 2005 and 2007 Red Bull Beat Battle Award and more recent the SPY Award for the 30th Anniversary of the Rock Steady Crew. In 2006-07 Mare 139 worked closely with Director/Actor Robert DeNiro on the film The Good Shepherd as a documenter of ‘the making of the movie’ and as member of Mr. DeNiro’s editing team. His writing has been published in Martha Coopers brilliant photo book Street Play that documents the imaginative ‘play’ of children in the streets of NYC in the late 1970’s. His writings capture the creative play and dangers of his youth in the South Bronx.

Living in NYC and exhibiting internationally, Carlos Mare 139 Rodriguez applies his unique background, skill sets and resources to many companies that are in need of fresh and innovative ideas to promote or develop their brands.
