Chris Jordan
When it comes to consumerism and waste, it’s often difficult to comprehend scale. Through photography, Chris Jordan puts American and global issues into perspective in an effort to help us grasp their magnitude. For example, his photographs show what two million plastic bottles (used in the U.S. every five minutes) look like. He has used nine million alphabet blocks to represent the number of uninsured American children. Chris’s photographs have garnered attention from The New York Times, CNN, and ABC World News, and have been featured in magazines and articles from Hong Kong to Sao Paulo. His current exhibit, Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait, addresses the impact American consumerism and greed have on our culture and our planet: “Collectively we have given in to greed and made the gaining of wealth our cultural priority. This comes at the expense of what some people hold most sacred: our connectedness to ourselves, to each other, and to our planet.” www.chrisjordan.com/
