American Power: What's Really At Risk?
December 6 2007, 7pm at the Donnell Auditorium, New York.
Presented by The Architectural League of New York.
Mitch Epstein's current work, American Power,
examines energy usage and the idea of excess in the United States.
These pictures were made on forays to energy production sites and their environs.
Epstein plays with the definition of American power, probing not just corporate power
but the powers of nature, sexuality, consumption, and size.
