Edward Burtynsky deeply explores the landscape as it has been transformed by industry - in this case, the immense quarries around the world. These works were created over a seventeen-year period, nearly a quarter of a century, across different continents, at Rock of Ages (Vermont, USA), Carrara (Italy), Makrana (Rajasthan), Xiamen (China) and Iberia (Portugal).

These sumptuous photographs, some of which resemble abstract compositions, evoke in us both rejection and fascination; rejection because of the destruction of landscapes and fascination with the creation of a kind of inverted cube-shaped architecture within the mountains or in the depths of the earth.
