In Edward Burtynsky’s words “These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times.” I could not have said it any better. These photographs are stunning. See the documentary… Manufactured Landscapes (2007) Edward Burtynsky, it is amazing.
