Connie Samaras: After the American Century February 26, 2011

After the American Century is a series of photographs and videos shot at the start of the worldwide economic downturn in December 2008 and March 2009. The project looks at the building of Dubai, United Arab Emirates as a futuristic city designed as a playground of hyper-consumer excess for the uber rich and a global capitalist haven orbiting high above the regulatory laws of nation states.
