Photographer Lauren Greenfield started her career documenting native tribes, but soon found a different focus, one which would occupy her for the next 25 years. She applied her anthropological lens to the wealthy and privileged, and has been doing variations on that idea ever since, with photo series on Hollywood youths, women’s body issues, conspicuous consumption, new money in China and Europe, and more. Greenfield then compiled these series into a retrospective, Generation Wealth, both as a book and an exhibition which began touring last year. Generation Wealth the documentary is a companion of sorts to the book and exhibition, chronicling both Greenfield’s development over her career and how her subjects have been affected by gaining, having, spending, and/or losing so much money.
The results are, predictably, both infuriating for the extreme societal inequality these people embody and depressing for all the ways their money has failed to give them any lasting satisfaction.
