This publication examines the development of his oeuvre on the basis of two very different series of photographs. \u003cI\u003eRecreation—American Photographs \u003c\/I\u003e(1973–88) represents traditional American Street Photography and depicts everyday situations, quintessential testimony to life in the \u003cst1:country-region w:st=\"on\"\u003e\u003cst1:place w:st=\"on\"\u003eUnited States\u003c\/st1:place\u003e\u003c\/st1:country-region\u003e in the seventies and eighties. The open nature of a pluralistic society, one that decades later seems to have lost its fortuity, is documented in the randomness of the encounters. This is implied in the title of the second photoseries \u003cI\u003eAmerican Power, \u003c\/I\u003ewhich Epstein began in 2003.

Cooling towers and refineries dominate the images, breaking all rules of proportion and degrading everything else around them to the status of insignificant marginalia.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=Standa style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: TheSans-Plain\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=Standa style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-family: TheSans\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Kunstmuseum Bonn, November 11, 2010–January 23, 2011\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=Standa style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-family: TheSans\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=Standa style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874833330440,"sku":"9783775727846","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775727846_c335478e-d9f6-43c3-88d2-9190b686f358.jpg?v=1744118815","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16569-mitch-epstein","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
