About Chris Jordan
Chris Jordan is an internationally acclaimed artist whose work explores the collective shadow of contemporary mass culture from a variety of photographic and conceptual perspectives. Edge-walking the lines between beauty and horror, abstraction and representation, the near and the far, the visible and the invisible, Jordan’s works confront the destructive power of humanity’s collective will. His images and videos are exhibited and published worldwide.
