Sunday, April 22 marks the 42nd annual Earth Day. While many works in the AMAM collection can be thought of through the environmentalist perspective, one of the most visually striking is this digital photo-collage by Chris Jordan, Plastic Bottles. This work depicts two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the U.S. every five minutes. In 2008, the AMAM mounted an exhibition focusing on Jordan’s works called Running the Numbers.
