Photography is not only to search Beauty or to tell us events, the clear description of a emotion but it can become a truly denuncia. This is what the Midway Project of Chris Jordan represents. Jordan has developed is project on the Midway Atoll situated on the occidental cost of the Hawaii archipelago. His photos immortalize the dead bodies of thousands birds killed by the plastic hunted in the oceans and seas, in the last decades reaching even the form of a artificial island in the middle of pacific. The series of photos are surrealist, no one would believe of the existence of such a matter. The object ouf our daily life lighters, straws, plastic caps etc. In the second series he doesn’t only photograph the birds, it also displayed the inside of the stomach around the body showing to us that the first visible layer of plastic was nothing compare to the fully amount digested by the birds. The crime scene style reportage made by Jordan, its a straight way of framing allowing to the viewer to question on the possibility of such horrible circumstance .
