The Zaporizhzhia Watchdog emerges from the occupation of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, a site where military conflict intersects with infrastructure capable of producing irreversible, transboundary harm.
The work introduces the figure of the “watchdog” as a structural necessity rather than an individual role: a guardian of systems whose failure cannot be contained within political boundaries. Unlike conventional actors in conflict, this figure operates within a different logic—one defined not by control or victory, but by the prevention of shared catastrophe.
The nuclear site becomes a point of convergence where opposing forces are bound by a common vulnerability. In this context, infrastructure is no longer neutral or purely functional; it is exposed as a fragile condition upon which multiple systems depend simultaneously.
The piece frames this condition as a broader principle: that certain technologies exceed the frameworks designed to govern them, requiring forms of responsibility that are collective, continuous, and inherently unstable.
