About the Item
Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955) is one of Canada’s most acclaimed photographers.
He is well-known for his captivating large-scale photographs documenting the ramifications of industrial production on the environment. Burtynsky's work often presents a tension between wonder and desecration, reminding us of our simultaneous dependence and lack of concern for the planet.
This image is an aerial photograph of Lake Lefroy in Western Australia, from the "Mining" series. The aerial view offers a survey of the area which--although deceivingly small in appearance--represents an almost incomprehensibly large area. The very few identifiable objects (buildings, roads, cars) in this image offer a measure of scale for this striking scene.
What, at first glance, appears to be a scarred landscape, is in reality evidence of nature transformed and resources spent. Rusty red hues punctuates a range of white, grey, and sandy earth of the area, a fantastically gritty and rugged topographic portrait.
For Burtynsky, the mining images are symbolic. He explains: "What this civilization leaves in the wake of progress may be the open and emptied earth, but in performing these incursions we also participate in the unwitting creation of gigantic monuments to our way of life."
Burtynsky's work is represented in over 50 museum collections around the world ranging from The National Gallery of Canada, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, to Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and Bibliothèque National, Paris.
