Audubon in the Anthropocene: Works by Matthew Day Jackson
Jackson situates a view of an amusement park in the abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine, in the distance behind Audubon’s mallards. Pripyat was evacuated in the wake of the explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. Mallard ducks are a highly adaptable species and would likely be found near a marsh or stream at this distance from a city like Pripyat, just as Jackson depicts them. Since the Chernobyl disaster, scientists have documented evidence of genetic changes and elevated mutation rates in mammals contaminated by radiation. Somewhat ironically, after more than thirty years without human interference in Chernobyl’s exclusion zone, Ukrainian scientists now find wildlife populations have rebounded and are thriving.
