The photography by Chris Jordan is part of an exhibit titled Intolerable Beauty Portraits of American Mass Consumption shown at the Paul Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Our consumerism holds an anesthetizing kind of mob mentality; collectively we are committing a vast and unsustainable act of taking, but we each are anonymous and no one is in charge or accountable for the consequences... So perhaps my photographs can serve as portals to a kind of cultural self-reflection. It may not be the most comfortable terrain, but I have heard it said that in risking self-awareness, at least we know we are awake."

EastCoastStar ....Those phones are there for re-cycling purposes mostly ones that are too old or damaged, non-functional ect.

A lot of phone shops actually take part exchanges or buy-backs for old phones and send then send the old ones on for re-cycling....Carphonewarehouse and Orange have this service in the u.k...So thats where all these phones end up!
