Anthropocene by Edward Burtynsky

December 2018

Burtynsky’s photographs, a film premiering at Sundance in 2019 and museum shows in Toronto, Ottawa and Bologna carry a single project on humanity’s mark on the planet.

The book Anthropocene is part of The Anthropocene Project, a “multidisciplinary body of work combining fine art photography, film, virtual reality, augmented reality, and scientific research to investigate human influence on the state, dynamic, and future of the Earth.” Utilizing photographs from Edward Burtynsky that are also part of the exhibition, the book includes essays from the authors and others.

The major museum exhibition was at Art Galleries in Toronto and Ottawa, Canada during 2018 and also will open at Manifattura di Arti, Sperimentazione e Tecnologia (MAST) in Bologna in the Spring of 2019.

The film, which has been playing in Canada, will have its international premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.
