Synopsis
Over a twenty-five year career exploring the landscape as transformed by industry, the celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has accumulated a body of work on large-scale quarries around the world. Including Canada, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, India and America these thought-provoking studies of sites that are created as we dig into the earth for material in order to build our cities, urge us to consider how we as viewers are simultaneously attracted yet repulsed by these landscapes – somewhere a building is created while a landscape is destroyed. Edward Burtynsky, is one of Canada’s most respected photographers. His remarkable photographic depictions of global industrial landscapes are included in the collections of 16 major museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Bibliothčque nationale in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Ed Burtynsky’s numerous distinctions include the TED Prize, The Outreach award at the Rencontres d’Arles, and Canada’s highest civil honour: Officer of the Order of Canada. In 2005 Steidl published his celebrated book China.

BURTYNSKY, EDWARD: Quarries Steidl Grehard Druckerei und Verlag 2007 HB ISBN 9783865214560 200 pages "As information, these pictures are hyper-determined, and Burtynsky leaves nothing up to the imagination. It is all given, and in doing so, he achieves a sublime of another order; a representation of a subject that is more explicit than it could ever be in life. Burtynsky 's uniform surface of precise and complete information transforms what should be a repulsive subject. Into something awesome. the phenomenal force of these prints leave us ill-equipped to steel ourselves against such sobering beauty." -Mark Mayer Musee d'art contemporain de Montreal. NEW, mint, still in original publisher's shrink wrap. 200 pages. A large, heavy book; 14.5 x 12 inches, which may require additional shipping charges for expedited and international sales.

Nel corso di una carriera venticinquennale che esplora il paesaggio trasformato dall'industria, il celebre fotografo canadese Edward Burtynsky ha accumulato un corpus di lavoro sulle cave a larga scala realizzato in tutto il mondo. Includendo il Canada, l'Italia, la Cina, la Spagna, il Portogallo, l'India e l'America, questi studi provocatori di siti che vengono creati quando scaviamo nella terra per trovare materiale per costruire le nostre cittą, ci spingono a considerare come noi, come spettatori, siamo simultaneamente attratti e respinti da questi paesaggi - da qualche parte un edificio viene creato mentre un paesaggio viene distrutto.
