Monument to Television Chernobyl, 1992

 Item — Box 139: [Barcode: 31858072457926]
Identifier: CC-03577-3641
Scope and Contents

Chernobyl refers to a city in Russia in which a major nuclear accident took place. Rabascall has depicted the event by presenting the city as an ancient pyramid with four television receivers and a satellite dish on its top and letters covered with sand falling in a disorderly arrangement down the slopes of the pyramid. The latter might signify the initial concealment of the magnitude of this disaster by the Soviet government. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
