Running The Numbers
Exploring the detritus of American mass culture, Jordan’s photographs depict staggering statistics through intricately detailed large-scale panels. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: 15 million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (30 seconds of can consumption), 100 million toothpicks (the number of trees cut in the U.S. yearly to make the paper for junk mail), or 38,000 shipping containers (the number of containers processed through American ports every 12 hours).
