Edward Burtynsky


Nickel Tailings No. 35, 1996.

Unlike the Green River by Eliasson, Edward Burtynsky's river is colored from a mine, not the artist. Burtynsky's photography of humans' effect on the planet is beautiful, elegant, and removed enough to not be too politicized. He simply documents.

I can't help but feel uneasy and question my roles in consumerism and environmental damages when looking at his work...
