Excess (n.) The state of exceeding what is normal or sufficient.
Not long ago I started collecting images of excessive things. Here are a few that I think are particularly striking.
Terry Bozzio’s drumkit
Carbon fiber dog bowl
Million dollar monophonic speaker
Kitchen island made of Legos
Giant motorcycle
These are all extreme examples, but the line between luxury and excess, between premium and ridiculous can be a thin one, and is ever-shifting.
Artist Chris Jordan conducts a serious exploration of excess and its consequences in his photographic series Running the Numbers and Running the Numbers II.
