EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate metering devices found in the central control room of the decommissioned Ignalina nuclear power station in Visaginas, Lithuania. Taken on July 24,2019, by Ints Kalnins for Reuters Images, it offers a detailed and creative view of these essential instruments. The image captures a close-up of various gauges and meters that were once responsible for monitoring and controlling the immense power generated within this industrial building. The vibrant colors add visual interest to an otherwise abandoned space: blue and green hues dominate the scene while hints of red and yellow punctuate the composition. The photograph's composition highlights both order and chaos as multiple metering devices are displayed side by side without any human presence. This absence emphasizes their obsolete state, reminding viewers that this power station is no longer operational. Through its focus on these now-disused instruments, this image invites contemplation about our reliance on technology to harness energy. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of industrial progress while also raising questions about sustainability and future energy sources. Overall, this visually striking photograph provides a thought-provoking glimpse into an old factory's central control room—a testament to humanity's quest for innovation in harnessing power.
