Featuring Edward Burtynsky

Internationally acclaimed for his large-scale photographs of “manufactured landscapes”—quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines and dams—Edward Burtynsky creates stunningly beautiful art from civilization’s materials and debris. This film follows him through China, as he shoots evidence and effects of the county’s massive industrial endeavors, allowing us to meditate on our impact on the planet.
