摄影艺术家克里斯•乔丹简介


克里斯•乔丹是一位活跃于美国西雅图、华盛顿的摄影艺术家。他的作品意在探索当代大众文化的垃圾碎片，从堆积如山的垃圾照片到观念影像作品，它们将与我们的垃圾有关的抽象数字以视觉的方式呈现了出来。在他的《流动数字》系列中，我们可以看到，无数的塑料瓶汇聚成一片汪洋，遂而又激起了一阵海啸……

近年来，克里斯分别在加利福尼亚大学伯克莱分校的David Brower中心、巴黎Passage de Retz画廊（在此荣获Prix Pictet世界环境摄影大奖）以及尤金（位于美国俄勒冈）Jordan Schnitzer艺术博物馆举办、参加了多次国际性的个展和群展。2010年他曾获由塞拉俱乐部颁发的安塞尔亚当斯环保摄影奖，2007年受邀参加了在位于挪威奥斯陆的诺贝尔和平中心举办的“预见性变革”展，并荣获绿叶奖。

乔丹的作品曾出现在世界各地的杂志、报纸、博客和纪录片中，并有三种著作出版：《不能承受之美：美国大众消费的写照》(2005)，《卡特里娜飓风之后：一场非自然灾难造成的损失》(2006)，以及最新的《流动数字：一幅美国自画像》(2009)。他创作的巨幅照片被全球诸多公共及私人艺术机构所收藏。



Chris Jordan Biography

Chris Jordan is a photographic artist based in Seattle, Washington, USA. His work explores the detritus of contemporary mass culture, from photographs of mountains of garbage to photo-based conceptual works that visually connect to the viewer to otherwise abstract statistics associated with the things we waste. In his Running The Numbers series, millions of plastic bottles become an ocean, ocean plastic pollution becomes a tsunami, and so on.
Jordan’s work has been exhibited around the world in solo and group exhibitions, most recently at the David Brower Center in Berkeley, California, and at the Passage de Retz in Paris, France, where he was awarded the 2011 Prix Pictet Commission Prize. In 2010 he received the Sierra Club’s Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography, and in 2007 he participated in the Envisioning Change exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway, where he was presented with a Green Leaf Award.
Jordan’s work has been featured in magazines, newspapers, blogs, and documentary films around the world, and he has published three books: Intolerable Beauty: Portraits of American Mass Consumption (2005), In Katrina’s Wake: Portraits of Loss from an Unnatural Disaster (2006), and most recently, Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait (2009). His large-scale prints are held in public and private art collections around the globe.
