"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."--Jacket.
