Even though the threat of climate change is very real and affects us daily, the causes and consequences are often hard to articulate, much less represent. Mitch Epstein's monumental achievement in his overarching work of the past two decades has been to communicate the intangible networks of production and power that threaten our environment and to listen to and record the visions of people in protest, as well as the gentle thrum of the enduring forest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Nature\u003c\/i\u003e features key selections from Epstein's three most recent projects: \u003ci\u003eAmerican Power\u003c\/i\u003e (2003-9), \u003ci\u003eProperty Rights\u003c\/i\u003e (2017-20) and \u003ci\u003eOld Growth\u003c\/i\u003e (2020-24). In \u003ci\u003eAmerican Power\u003c\/i\u003e, he shows the consequences of the corporate extraction and refinement of natural resources. In \u003ci\u003eProperty Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, he bears witness to local responses and resistances to such spoliations. And in \u003ci\u003eOld Growth\u003c\/i\u003e, he reveals the too rarely seen vistas of ancient trees and pristine nature, untrammeled by human exploitation. In addition to these three major photographic projects, there are two new multimedia works: the monumental installation \u003ci\u003eForest Waves\u003c\/i\u003e, devoted to the virgin forest of Massachusetts, and \u003ci\u003eClear Cut\u003c\/i\u003e, a compilation of still images by early 20th-century photographer Darius Kinsey on the deforestation in the American Northwest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMitch Epstein\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1952) was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and studied under Garry Winogrand at Cooper Union. His photobook \u003ci\u003eFamily Business\u003c\/i\u003e won the 2004 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award. Epstein was previously a visiting artist at Bard College's Photography Program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 11.3 x 9.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47350489645305,"sku":"9788857253121","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/IGN7qtnbOu9788857253121.webp?v=1769786520","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/mitch-epstein-american-nature-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
