Title: Amos Coal Power Plant, Raymond, West Virginia 2004
Artist: Mitch Epstein
Medium: Photography
I’d say the appeal of this image, from Epstein’s American Power series, is self-explanatory.
Mitch Epstein’s current work examines how energy is produced and used in the American landscape. Made on forays to energy production sites and their environs, these pictures question the power of nature, government, corporations, and mass consumption in the United States.
Also, Wikipedia has informed me that Epstein is a graduate of Cooper Union.
