beleza consciente

"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. (...) Statistics tend to feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or $12.5 million spent every hour on the Iraq war. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs."

O trabalho mais recente do fotógrafo Chris Jordan chama-se 'Running the Numbers' e, além de ser incrível visualmente, tem muita consistência ideológica. No site oficial dá pra ver os números e estatísticas representadas nas fotos, algumas imagens e detalhes em zoom (que desvendam a "magia" e surpreendem!).
