Description

Drivers of the global economy such as oil, gas and coal wreak havoc on the environments and everyday lives of those living near where these resources are mined. Through his images, Hinsch addresses global power relations and mechanisms of capitalist exploitation and sheds light on those who endure long-term damage to the environments they call home.
