"Wounds Heal Slowly"

Chernobyl - Three Lives After

Zeichnung eines Mädchens

In a matter-of-fact and quiet manner, Dietrich Wegner (Semmenstedt, district of Wolfenbüttel) asks three girls to tell their experience; they describe their everyday life which sometimes is like any other child's everyday life: playful, uncomplicated and always a discovery journey. From time to time the "Chernobyl" issue flickers up, but when it does it seems as if it were the most natural thing, just the way children perceive their environment. The pictures have a direct connection with the text and, nevertheless, every single one of them is a piece of art in itself: expressive and impressive. The recreative stay in "Nadeshda" is what all three life stories have in common. This is where they were able to find hope...

This exhibition centres on Three Lives After, Three Lives After Chernobyl.

Showing 55 drawings and water-colour paintings and the corresponding short texts, Dietrich Wegner conveys the impressions he had during his 14-day visit in Belarus of the Chernobyl consequences for Belorussian children.
