mass consumerism… and the resulting degradation of our environment intrinsic to the process of making things to keep us happy and fulfilled frightens me. This selection is drawn from a multiyear donation of works by celebrated Canadian photographer (and Ryerson University alumnus) Edward Burtynsky, whose iconic images have brought global attention to the impacts of human industry on the natural landscape. Salt Pans continues in this direction with Burtynsky exploring the subtle modulations of tone and compositional balance of the pans, and the calligraphic tracks from vehicles referencing scale and human activity. Aquaculture provides a glimpse into this quickly growing and increasingly important food source. I have come to think of my preoccupation with the Anthropocene — the indelible marks left by humankind on the geological face of our planet — as a conceptual extension of my first and most fundamental interests as a photographer. It was a trip that launched his career. E-waste is hazardous and its processing is a high-risk endeavor even in state-of-the-art facilities. Christina Dallimore. I document landscapes that, whether you think of them as beautiful or monstrous, or as some strange combination of the two, are clearly not vistas of an inexhaustible, sustainable world. Send them a photograph of yourself and they’ll do one of you for the same price. The project’s starting point is the research of the Anthropocene Working Group, an international body of scientists who argue that the Holocene epoch ended around 1950, and that we have officially entered the Anthropocene in recognition of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth’s system. Our planetary system is affected by a magnitude of force as powerful as any naturally occurring global catastrophe, but one caused solely by the activity of a single species: us. The tools of manufacturing are sometimes included, but they often function simply as a measure of the immense scale of the scene before us. “…. We have to learn to think more long-term about the consequences of what we are doing, while we are doing it. I had never seen a dimensional quarry, but I envisioned an inverted cubed architecture on the side of a hill. For this series Burtynsky traveled to Gujarat, India, to photograph the Little Rann of Kutch, a region that is home to more than 100,000 salt workers extracting around one million tons of salt from the floodwaters of the Arabian Sea each year. Burtynsky typically searches out the largest scale examples of global ecological incidents. China now plays a central role in the global supply chain for the world’s multinational corporations. Edward Burtynsky sees the world from a different vantage point than most of us — quite literally. Inexpensive labor from the countryside, important as it is to China’s growth as a trading nation, is one major facet of its success. The skilled stone carvers seen working in image China Quarries #8 will make you a life-size likeness of Michelangelo’s David in granite for under a thousand dollars. The result is this new series, made during the time of year when the cycle of renewal exerts itself on the Earth. To describe Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky's work in a single adjective, you have to speak French: jolie-laide. In the Homesteads series, the precise geographic location, whether in British Columbia, Alberta, Montana, or upstate New York, is not really significant, since the primary elements remain the same: the small homes and outbuildings dotting the nearly empty land. Even the act of taking from the earth is natural since we are not outside of nature. Even in his choice of a title for this series, Burtynsky informs us that his photographs do not share an aesthetic agenda with earlier images of the railway.

by countries, with borders, or language, but as 7 billion humans living off a single, finite planet.” – Edward Burtynsky. The automobile was made possible because of the invention of the internal combustion engine and its utilization of both oil and gasoline. ... the photographer finding art in rivers of toxic waste.

But after a long flight and an even longer mountain drive he found the road to the master’s favourite quarry chained off a dozen kilometers from the source. The images in the China series communicate the enormity of the transition that is taking place there as the country moves increasingly towards a large-scale urbanization and more workers relocate for employment in the manufacturing industries. Track, Skihist Provincial Park, British Columbia 1985, Railcuts #4C.N. * Extract from Burtynsky’s essay, “Life in the Anthropocene” in the Anthropocene book. Burtynsky’s large scale aerial photographs reference the sublime and often surreal qualities of human-altered landscapes with an abstracted painterly language. The darker surrounding areas are considered the ground. He works with themes, like Metal Recycling, Quarries, Ships and Urban Mines. Burtynsky also takes us to India, to witness the largest pilgrimage on the planet with 35 million people arriving to bathe in the Ganges to release them of their sins—an ancient spiritual belief in the cleansing power and sacredness of water. There is no life without water: the subject of Edward Burtynsky’s newest exhibition and book.

It turned out that most of the dismantling was happening in India and Bangladesh so that's where I went.”. The company employs 15,600 people. In Edward Burtynsky’s Nickel Tailings #34 and 35we see a large river of what seems to be thick orange liquid running through a dark landscape. For Burtynsky, these Portuguese quarries represented the culmination and conclusion of a fifteen-year search for his dream image of an architecture turned inside out and upside down. ... E-waste is hazardous and its processing is a high-risk endeavor even in state-of-the-art facilities. The images in the China series communicate the enormity of the transition that is taking place there as the country moves increasingly towards a large-scale urbanization and more workers relocate for employment in the manufacturing industries. We feel that by describing the problem vividly, by being revelatory and not accusatory, we can help spur a broader conversation about viable solutions. Burtynsky's new and highly anticipated book Water tells us the story of where water comes from, how we use it, distribute and waste it. Yet frustrated plans can yield unexpected opportunities. Turn the image Iberia Quarries #3 upside down and there it finally is – the inverted ziggurat that he had so long imagined. "(Walrus, October 2013), "The project takes us over gouged landscapes, fractal patterned delta regions, ominously coloured biomorphic shapes, rigid and rectilinear stepwells, massive circular pivot irrigation plots, aquaculture and social, cultural and ritual gatherings. Not only are new cities emerging but immense urban renewal efforts are also underway. In China, e-waste recycling is, for the most part, not yet a refined industry. Burtynsky, who was born in St. Catherines, Ontario, investigated one of his first ‘e-waste’ who-done-its in his own backyard. Today there are over one hundred active quarries around Carrara. In 2005 alone, more than fifty local mines collapsed. As well as the waste rock that transforms the surrounding landscape there are also tailings - silts and sands suspended in copious amounts of polluted water, which are the remains of ore that has been processed. The surface of the rock-face would simultaneously reveal the process of its own creation, as well as display the techniques of the quarrymen. I wanted to understand our use and misuse of it. Now it is becoming clear that humankind, with its population explosion, industry, and technology, has in a very short period of time also become an agent of immense global change. "The images in this book are not about the battles being fought on the ground. Burtynsky instead focusses on the visual and physical effects of the lack of water, giving its absence an even more powerful presence." Although the river and the surrounding landscape are together one, the bright orange stream is the shape we detach and focus on or the figure. In his powerful series on water, Edward Burtynsky explores how humans source, use, distribute and waste this precious resource, often taking its availability for granted. I think that people are always trying to put a human scale on things. I remember looking at buildings made of stone, and thinking, there has to be an interesting landscape somewhere out there because these stones had to have been taken out of the quarry one block at a time.
