This paper aims to extend dark tourism scholarship concerned with existential aspects of the human nature and the power of ‘dark places’ to provoke our thinking about the meaning and purpose of human existence. Our main focus is on the artistic expressions in the form of murals that have emerged in the years following the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, questioning the significance and meanings they have for the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, in the context of tourists' perceptions and, more generally, in the context of our being in the world. To that end, we deconstruct the tourist experience of dark sites through knitting together dark tourism, existentialism and street art.

本文旨在扩展与人性的存在方面和“黑暗之地”的力量有关的黑暗旅游奖学金，以激发我们对人类存在的意义和目的的思考。我们的主要重点是在切尔诺贝利核灾难后几年出现的壁画形式的艺术表现形式，在游客的看法和更普遍的背景下质疑它们对切尔诺贝利禁区的重要性和意义，在我们存在于世界的背景下。为此，我们将黑暗旅游、存在主义和街头艺术结合在一起，解构了黑暗景点的旅游体验。
