Until now, we have not shown the carcasses of the albatross chicks that Chris Jordan has been photographing, stuffed with plastic beyond belief.
So much plastic, and in such bizarre combinations of objects and colors, that we recently posted a video in which Chris explains his photography ethic: no plastic is added to any photo, and the plastic is never rearranged.
It will be more than a month before Chris’ photos are processed and released. This morning Chris decided to offer a glimpse of what these carcasses look like.

Chris Jordan is the exceptional artist who focuses his lens on the underside of civilization. His work is often stunning in its beauty while at the same time shameful for its content, revealing as he does the grim truth of the cost of our greedy, ignorant life style. His great skill as a photographer is well challenged by the subjects he chooses to frame with his cameras. We can attempt escape from many intolerable actions we have committed, but not when there are eyes as sharp as Chris Jordan’s to jerk us back to reality.
