Lehman Brothers 92-08 by Michael Najjar



(Copyright - Michael Najjar)

"
(His) photographs take impressive cliff and rock formations to exemplify the development of leading stock exchange indices over the past 20 - 30 years. Like blueprints Najjar suspends the performance charts of such indices as the Dow Jones, Hang Seng, Nikkei and Dax over the mountain peaks, and changes the natural course of mountain borderlines, pairing pure natural beauty with the development of the global financial system."

Exhibited at Bitforms Gallery, New York.
