Synopsis
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.

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.
