“When you’re out there every day digging through dumpsters and trash piles, you realize that a lot gets lost” –Jeff Ferrell
American Dirt is an exhibition of photographs found by Jeff Ferrell — the author of The Empire of Scrounge — while dumpster diving. This accumulation of photographs is an archeology of American culture and the by product of oblivion and technological redundancy.
Exhibition at The Reading Room, Dallas, March 5–April 2, 2016.
Publication forthcoming fall 2016.
