Anonymation

Anonymization: The Global Proliferation of Urban Sprawl All across the world a uniform, homogeneous model of development, inspired by Los Angeles style urban sprawl—consisting of massive freeways, parking lots, shopping malls, and large-scale masterplanned communities with golf courses—is being stamped onto the earth´s topography. This globalized model of architecture does not respect or adapt itself to the natural or cultural environment onto which it is implanted. Robert Harding Pittman´s award winning documentaries, which address many of the same issues treated in “Anonymization”, have been shown at festivals around the world. Currently, together with with actor and activist Martin Sheen, he is working on a new documentary film about open-pit coal mining. German American photographer Robert Harding Pittman began working on this project in Los Angeles ten years ago. Since then he has been photographing the spread of "L.A. style development" in Las Vegas, Spain, France, Germany, Greece, Dubai, and South Korea.
