Art and Globalism: Alfredo jaar

Alfredo's Instillation 'Geography=war 1991' Jaar projects photos taken of a small village in Nigeria. the images depict children who play with barrels of toxic waste left around their village in the waste dumps by italian tankers. in this instillation Jaar explores the affect of global waste on the environment and people. and attempts to give a face to the impersonal global forces that create these horrible conditions.
