Chris Jordan #1

As Chris Jordan says in the video, us humans simply do not have
the metal capability to grasp numbers and statistics in the quantity they exist in today's society. Chris Jordan's photography allows these statistics to appear in a way that we can easily understand and truly see how large these numbers are. In the top image on the right, it looks like six orange panels. Up close you see folded jail uniforms, 2.3 million of them. This pictures represents the number of people incarcerated in the United States in 2005. From far away this looks like some kind of modern art, up close you can finally see how large the number 2.3 million looks. This picture also allows you to try to and imagine 2.3 million inmates filling these uniforms. Jordan continues to give you this expression of astonishment with how large these statistics truly are through out his photography.
