Quarries - Hardcover
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.

hardcover. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Prima edizione (First Edition). Fotografie a colori, di cui alcune su pagina ripiegata. Dichiarazione dell'artista. Un testo di Michael Mitchell. Biografia . 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 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.
