Fotoğraf sanatçısı Chris Jordan, Amerika'daki tüketim çılgınlığına işaret etmek için farklı bir çalışmaya imza attı. Jordan'ın çalışmasındaki fotoğrafların tümü binlerce hatta milyonlarca objeden oluşuyor. Fotoğrafta kullanılan obje sayısı ise, toplam tüketim miktarına eşit; 15 milyon kağıt (sadece beş dakikada tüketilen miktar), 106 milyon aluminyum kutu (30 saniyede tüketilen miktar) gibi.
