Burtynsky's sweeping photographs of natural and industrial landscapes bring the limits of our resources into harsh relief

According to curator Marc Mayer, photographer Edward Burtynsky has three main facets to his identity: The Technician, The Journalist, The Artist. Published on the occasion of Burtynsky's largest and most comprehensive exhibition to date at the Saatchi Gallery in London, Extraction/Abstraction looks deeply at the key subjects and signature images spanning his 45-year career. The catalog and related exhibition present a dichotomy of Burtynsky's image-making imperative: the lucid and informed documentation of large-scale extractive processes, and how, through his practice, Burtynsky transforms the landscape of industry into complete abstraction. Other essential themes in his oeuvre, such as agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure and waste, also find their rightful place here.
