簡介

著名的加拿大攝影師Edward Burtynsky遊走世界各地,以壯觀宏偉的工業景觀攝影,記述人類對自然界的影響。為了捕捉大規模的環境破壞,Burtynsky曾於高空7000英尺以上拍攝。Burtynsky鏡頭下的作品既抽象,又充滿畫藝特質。早於1980年代初,Burtynsky已開始投入大自然拍攝。早期作品以探索加拿大未受破壞的景觀為主。然而,至1980年代後期,他毅然放棄正迅速消逝的自然景觀。他意識到和諧平靜的大自然已經離人類世界日益漸遠。相反,他反思到自己過往在採礦業和汽車行業的工作經驗。於是,他開始著手探討各工業侵入自然界的具大破壞。

Edward Burtynsky的作品收藏於世界各地超過50多間博物館,包括紐約現代藝術博物館、巴黎法國國立圖書館、紐約索羅門古根漢博物館、倫敦攝影師畫廊、紐約水牛城公共美術館、倫敦維多利亞與亞伯特博物館、馬德里瑞內索非亞美術館及渥太華國家美術館。

Burtynsky曾獲2005年TED大獎的殊榮。2006年獲頒加拿大的最高平民榮譽勳章。他一共擁有四個榮譽博士學位,其他榮譽包括國家雜誌獎、MOCCA紐約獨立漫畫節大獎、亞爾國際攝影展拓展獎及Applied Arts雜誌書籍獎。Burtynsky現居於加拿大多倫多。2007年,Burtynsky為獲獎紀錄片Manufactured Landscapes的主角,並於聖丹斯國際電影節播放。

Paradise Lost January 2011

Edward Burtynsky's photographs are a document of our modern world. From oil-scarred landscapes and the dream like monotony of manufacturing plants, to the booming industrial backdrop of modern China, his work represents the stark and very real repercussions of our modern way of life. But despite the socio-political nature of his subjects, Burtynsky maintains that he is 'not an activist', he is, at the core, an artist.

Edward Burtynsky at Sundaram Tagore Gallery Nov 2010

"Every viewer will see in Burtynsky's work the aspects of nature, and of man's engagement in nature, that seem most significant to him at the time. It may be the beauty of color; it may be the magic of pattern; it may be the bizarre juxtaposition of beauty and industry, or the betrayal of nature or of man that often results from uncontrolled industrial exploitation. Burtynsky's work can generate this diversity of appreciation due to its accessibility, its universality, and its honesty. The artificial is made natural, and man's attack on nature is made beautifully clear."

An Uneasy Contradiction Surveying the career of Edward Burtynsky July 2010

"From the mid-1980s to the present, photographer Edward Burtynsky has made beautiful images of landscapes we'd rather not see. He photographs sites that are essential to our worldwide energy consumption: open-pit mines, refineries, quarries, and uranium tailings. More recently, he has photographed landscapes we couldn't imagine without his camera: China's relocation of millions of citizens to make way for the Three Gorges Dam, E-waste recycling, tire dumps, and ship- breaking. For two decades, Burtynsky's environmentally conscious photographs have grown from picturing quiet, seemingly benign hillsides with houses and dogs to the flagrantly poisonous, in the red river tailings of Sudbury, Ontario."

Edward Burtynsky's Negative Sublime

"Over the last three decades, Edward Burtynsky has created a body of images he describes as tracing "the man-made transformations our civilisation has imposed upon nature". This is a modest formulation with which to describe landscape photographs of often vast scale and stunning ocular power. Burtynsky's camera surveys terrain apparently subject to Promethean forces: quarries sit like mammoth inverted buildings, gouged out according to an unnatural symmetry. A mine tailing spreads luminous poison across blackened countryside, a suppurating geological sore. Oil derricks stretch like advancing robots as far as any human eye can see."
