Where your iPhone ends up: In his series Permanent Error,now on view at Yossi Milo Gallery, Pieter Hugo photographed people scrounging for e-waste in Agbogbloshie, a massive dump in Ghana with mountains of out-moded computers, computer games, and mobile phones shipped from the West. The locals burn down the components to salvage copper, brass, aluminum and zinc for resale.
