Author: EDWARD BURTYNSKY
Title: Edward Burtynsky : Quarries. The quarry photographs of Edward Burtynsky
Description: Steidl Verlag, 2007. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 191. After some 25 years of exploring the impact of industry on our planet, the celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has accumulated a substantial body of work documenting the world's major quarries-in Canada, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, India and America. Quarries are, of course, a crucial source for the buildings we construct, and as such, a negative correlative of what we add to the world-as well as a tangible (and neglected) evidence for our ongoing dependence on its resources. Somewhere a building is being created while a landscape is being destroyed, and, as Burtynsky writes, "quarries.are places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis." His images of these plundered landscapes are simultaneously beautiful and disquieting. ISBN: 9783865214560. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
