The new book Burtynsky - Quarries by celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky traces the artist's in-depth exploration of landscape as transformed by industry - in this case large-scale quarries around the world. These works were realized over seventeen years within a career that spans over a quarter century. Through masterful technique and often dizzying compositions, the artist presents his magnificent colour images as thought-provoking studies of those deconstructed territories that are created as we dig into the earth for material in order to build our cities. These detailed, sumptuous photographs urge us to consider how we as viewers are simultaneously attracted yet repulsed by these landscapes. Somewhere, while a building is created, a landscape is being destroyed.

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.

Cm 30x37,5. pp. 192. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . 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 città, 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.
