Ed
Burtynsky
Large Scale Photographic Images of Alberta and British Columbia

Burtynsky’s photographic
essays include images of rail cuts, homesteads, tailings, mine
sites and gas plants. His photographs deal with the final stages
of industrial production and are located in places outside of
the viewer's everyday experience. Much of this work reflects
the artist's concern with the relationship between nature and
industry.
