Over the past twenty-five years, the internationally renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has explored unfamiliar places where human activity has reshaped the land's surface. His astonishing large-scale colour photographs of the landscapes of mining, quarrying, rail cutting, recycling, oil refining, and shipbreaking uncover a stark, almost sublime beauty in the residue of industrial "progress." The implicit social and environmental upheavals that underlie these images make them powerful emblems of our times.
This handsome catalogue of the first major retrospective of Burtynsky's work features essays by Lori Pauli, Kenneth Baker, and Mark Haworth-Booth and a wide-ranging interview with the artist Michael Torosian. The book includes sixty-four colour plates.
It is a must-have rare book for contemporary photography photo book collectors.
