Conversations will focus on landscape, a subject at the core of both artists' decades-long practices. New releases by Burtynsky including photographs from Canada, the US, and Iceland, are placed in context with luminous new platinum-palladium prints by Salgado. Both artists have embraced new and old technologies with the goal of attaining the most remarkable surface detail and tonal range possible.

LOOKS LIKE ABSTRACTION explores the question of when a photograph is perceived as abstract. Was this the artist's intention from the outset? Isn't every photograph initially concrete, only to become something else, such as an abstract image, through the cropping of the picture? The tour of the exhibition answers some of these questions, but also leaves plenty of room for free flight of thought and emotion.

Design Museum Den Bosch
s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

The exhibition Design for the Planet presents a design history of the phenomenon of geoengineering. This is the first time that the theme has been addressed in this way in a design museum. From colonial plans to green the Sahara, via the fear of hurricanes as a weapon of war in the Cold War, to current plans to extract CO 2 from the air or to cool the earth with enormous sunshades in space. Such projects often prove to be impracticable or entail enormous risks, while their effectiveness is far from certain. Who has the right to put such plans into practice? Who bears the possible consequences? And what do these debates say about the expectations we have of engineers, scientists and designers?

Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene is the first major exhibition to examine the Anthropocene through the lens of contemporary photography. Comprised of forty-five photo-based artists working in a variety of artistic methods from studios and sites across the globe, Second Nature explores the complexities of this proposed new age. Collectively, these artists offer compelling visual imagery necessary for picturing the Anthropocene: aerial views of beautiful but toxic sites, collages that incorporate archival photographs to counter colonial narratives, depictions of urbanism on an unimaginable scale, and imagined yet precarious futures. In doing so, they address urgent issues such as vanishing ice, rising waters, and increasing resource extraction, as well as the deeply rooted and painful legacies of colonialism, forced climate migration, and socio-environmental trauma.

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.

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.

Whether the landscapes are seen as an environmental disaster or human progress, these works bear witness to the changing planet.

Galerie Springer Berlin
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.
