Abstract

The article deals with visual and narrative ways of representing the Chernobyl disaster. Two cultural texts have been analyzed: the photo album entitled Chernobyl. Confessions of a Reporter by Igor Kostin, and the comic book Chernobyl. The Zone, by Natasha Bustos and Francesco Sanchez. They are connected not only by subject matter but also by a combination of visual and language codes. The analysis in question leads to the conclusion that for the articulation of the event and its consequences, one-code message is insufficient. Intermediality is a way to describe the traumatic post-catastrophic experience.
