The photo exhibition WATER explores the controversial relationship between humanity and water: a basic part of our body, an essential resource for our lives and that of our planet. Indispensable and of vital importance. That makes water the most precious liquid; the new gold.

Edward Burtynsky's abstract photographs, sometimes elegant, sometimes haunting, float between the worlds of painting and photography and form a compelling portrait of water that presents itself as an open question about humanity's relationship with nature.

Museum of Australian Photography

In 2022, Burtynsky photographed Ravenworth Mine in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, an open cut mine producing coal for export. Presented through ten large-format photographs, these aerial images show the scale of active industry and seduce the viewer via sensual patterns and topography. The photographs provide vantages for discussion of the future of the environment. Whether the landscapes are seen as an environmental disaster or human progress, these works bear witness to the changing planet.

Berlin, Germany

Burtynsky’s interest in Africa was sparked 20 years ago while he was working on his landmark 2004 photographic project China, which explores the country’s rapid globalization and the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. The series, and subsequent award-winning documentary film by Jennifer Baichwal, Manufactured Landscapes (2006), chronicle China’s transformation into the world’s leading manufacturer and depository for its waste. Burtynsky witnessed firsthand the immense environmental and by extension, human cost of development, and he predicted Africa would be the next, and perhaps the last, region to undergo major industrial expansion.

Fotografiska Shanghai
Jing’an District, Shanghai

Abstraction and the Altered Landscape, by artist Edward Burtynsky, will be one of the four opening exhibitions at Fotografiska Shanghai. During the 40-year evolution of Burtynsky’s artistic practice, abstraction has increasingly become a central mode of expression for him. While there may be photojournalistic overtones in these works, the deeper concern is a desire to create large, detailed, painterly images into which the viewer is drawn not only by their formal aesthetic appeal, but also by the underlying subject matter.

Sublime yet detailed, most of the photographs in this exhibition were taken from fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and drones, so there is a visual continuity in seeing the landscape from lofty perspectives, revealing the designs, structure and scale of the Earth’s surface. Technologies such as remote-controlled drones has allowed for more precision in selecting viewpoints, where Burtynsky often eliminates the horizon line of a landscape to enhance the sense of abstraction.

Fredericton, NB

This exhibition will present the entire Burtynsky gift of thirty-one large-format photographs from around the Earth.

Curated by John Leroux and organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Museo Sigismondo Castromediano
Lecce, Italy

The exhibition includes 12 large-format photographs and a video, set up in a widespread way among the Landscapes of the Sea, the Land, the Sacred, the Living and the Dead that make up the permanent museum itinerary. The dialogue, sought and natural, with the archaeological finds that tell of the different landscapes of Salento, formed over the millennia by the interaction between Man and the Environment, reinforces the emphasis on the themes of Nature and Sustainability, an object of particular interest by the Castromediano. In fact, today many of the museum's activities and projects converge on them, from the educational proposals of the project "ADD_L'Arte Diminuisce la Distance + Natura" to the collaboration with the Sylva Foundation for the fundraising campaign "Let's help the forest to go a little further" dedicated to the reforestation of some stretches of the Salento area. In all of this, Burtinsky's images document an ecological disaster that affects not only the olive trees of Puglia but also the entire cultural landscape and identity of Puglia.

Pino Pascali Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art
Polignano A Mare

On Friday 25 November at 6 pm (until 9 April 2023) the Pino Pascali Foundation presents an exhibition by Edward Burtynsky , a famous photographer of industrial landscapes, one of the most internationally appreciated contemporary artists for his civil commitment in witnessing the impact of man on the planet.

The exhibition, entitled Edward Burtynsky: Xylella Studies , documents the ecological disaster that hit the olive trees in Puglia and is the result of the work started with the Sylva Foundation , a non-profit organization that deals with environmental regeneration through reforestation activities. A year ago the Foundation, which was born in 2021 with the aim of regenerating the Apulian landscape, hosted the Canadian photographer author of Anthropocene in residence in Salento, entrusting him with the task of translating into images and videos the destruction of the millennial tree heritage and of the Apulian landscape caused by the xylella bacterium.

Festival Delle Scienze Roma

In collaboration with the Sylva Foundation

Xylella fastidiosa is a phytopathogen associated with serious diseases in a wide range of plants. In Europe it was first detected in 2013 on olive trees in southern Puglia, and then spread to France, Spain and Portugal. In less than a decade it has led to the rapid drying of more than 20 million olive trees in Salento, where the monoculture of the olive tree is widespread. In 2021 the Sylva Foundation, which carries out land redevelopment activities mainly through reforestation, commissioned the famous photographer Edward Burtynsky to document the environmental disaster that occurred in the olive groves in Puglia. A selection of ten prints of his work is hosted in this Festival exhibition and at the Pino Pascali Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art.

In October 2014, Edward Burtynsky began a photographic journey that took him 4,000 kilometres across Eastern Europe to capture the scarred landscapes Holocaust sites. Nearly 80 years later, these sites still bear witness to human loss perpetrated on an unprecedented scale.

Like the scarred landscapes of mines, oil fields and landscapes that have been destroyed by industrial processes in the support of our modern lifestyle that we see in Burtynsky’s work, these places bear the mark of unthinkable destruction long after the activities have ceased. This portfolio is titled Chai – the Hebrew word for ‘life’. While there were an unthinkable number of victims in these places, there are also survivors. Their experiences then and since must guide our remembrance and learning.
