Dirty Pictures: portraits of air

Dirty Pictures: portraits of air is an ongoing, unscientific project that focuses on the movement and quality of air around the world. The project began in 2009 with the disbursement of twenty-four 8 x 10 air filters to people in seven countries, including 14 locations within the U.S. Each participant in the project was asked to place the filter in a place of their choosing so it could pick up particulates in the atmosphere. The project documenting the filters and their placements was published in vol. 1 of the zine “Dirty Pictures: portraits of air” in November 2010.

Participants in the project include: Juliet Arnon, Jacklyn Brickman, Morgan Campbell, Cezanne Charles, Cleopatra’s (Bridget Donahue, Bridget Fin, Kate McNamara, Erin Somerville), Miroslav Cukovic, Kathrin and Klaus Entenmann, Linda Ferguson, John Ganis, Perri Lynch, Bryan Lomerson, Crystal Palmer, Goedele Peeters, Sam Punnett, John Rowland, the Sackriders, Sandra Schemske, Thadd Smith, Slows BBQ (Michael Metevia, Elizabeth Isakson), SP Weather Station (Natalie Campbell, Heidi Neilson), Daniel Sperry, Cedric Tai.
