The culmination of a twenty-year odyssey by one of the most important American makers: at once a political portrait of the nation at a crucial moment and an existential warning about a potentially catastrophic future.
Though the threat of a changing climate is very real and touches us daily, its causes and consequences are often hard to put into words and harder still to picture. Epstein's monumental achievement across the last two decades has been to convey the intangible dynamics of production and power that threaten the environment, and to record both the visions of those who oppose that threat and the faint murmur of the forest that survives in time.
Published for the exhibition in Turin, it brings together key images from his three most recent projects: American Power (2003-2009), Property Rights (2017-2020) and Old Growth (2020-2024).
