From press pack: Edward Burtynsky looks at landscape as architecture in a series of active and abandoned quarries across America, Europe and India. We are surrounded by consumer goods, and yet we are profoundly detached from their sources. Our lifestyles are made possible by industries all around the world that we take for granted and that become
merely background to our existence. Burtynsky aims to show those places that are normally outside our experience but very much a part of our everyday lives.
