Chris Jordan (artist)

Chris Jordan (born 1963) is an American artist, photographer and film producer based in Seattle, Washington.

[1] Many of Jordan's works are created from photographs of garbage and mass consumption, a serendipitous technique which started when he visited an industrial yard to look at patterns of color and order.

Jordan uses everyday commonalities such as a plastic cup and defines the blind unawareness involved in American consumerism.

His work, while often unsettling, is a message about unconscious behaviors in our everyday lives, leaving it to the viewer to draw conclusions about the inevitable consequences which will arise from our habits.

This is a part of an ongoing arts and media project called Midway Journey, which has its own website.
