Running the Numbers
The above photo depicts two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes.
"Running the Numbers," is Von Lintel Gallery's first solo exhibit of photographic works by Chris Jordan. This series focuses on contemporary American culture through the unassailable lens of statistics.
Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on.
This project visually examines vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs.
If you happen to be in New York from June 14th to the end of July, don't miss this exhibit.
