Indestructible Wonder (2016-2017)
Photographer Edward Burtynsky chronicles complex and controversial issues of land use around the world. His overriding interest in the environment has led to long-term photographic essays on subjects such as oil, mining, quarries, and water, which raise environmental and ethical questions about humanity’s alteration of the land. In Oil Fields #19a, Belridge, California and Oil Fields #19b, Belridge, California, Burtynsky showed the interface of industry and central California’s landscape, where acres of oil rigs methodically hammer the ground. Burtynsky strikes an intricate balance between somber reportage and a powerfully seductive aesthetic that subverts usual notions of the sublime in nature and leads to a new awareness of the landscape of our times.
