ABOUT THIS SALON

Johnny Miller focuses on aerial photography to highlight social inequality.  His photographic work went viral when TIME Magazine used one of his images to display social inequality “In the World’s Most Unequal Country” (meaning South Africa, a country, Miller has spent 15 years in). Unequal Scenes has garnered widespread praise and been featured in other leading global publications. His photographic artwork has been exhibited at Photo Art Basel, Unseen, and other art markets.

Unequal Scenes uses a drone to show inequality across the world through photography. The scars within our urban fabric, so apparent from above, can provoke a sense of surprise but also reveal our complicity in systematic disenfranchisement. At the same time, the unusual perspective creates a pattern of abstractions that are fascinating to decipher.

We live within neighborhoods and participate in economies that reinforce inequality. We habituate ourselves with routines and take for granted the built environment of our cities. It’s the very scale and unerring regularity across geographic regions which points to the systemic nature of inequality. The astonishing views and the focus on the theme of the city and its visual and social transition areas are unique in this kind.
