First edition of Quarries by Edward Burtynsky. First impression. Large format hardback in new condition. Please see pictures. About Over a 25 year career exploring the landscape as transformed by industry, the celebrated Canadian photographer Burtynsky has accumulated a body of work on large-scale quarries around the world. Including Canada, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal, India and America these thought-provoking studies of sites that are created as we dig into the earth for material in order to build our cities, urge us to consider how we as viewers are simultaneously attracted yet repulsed by these landscapes – somewhere a building is created while a landscape is destroyed.
