Green Cave di FestambienteSud
Monte Sant'Angelo, Puglia, Italy

Edward Burtynsky returns to Italy with an exhibition. The famous photographer of industrial landscapes, a contemporary artist among the most internationally appreciated for his civil commitment in witnessing the impact of man on the planet, will be in Monte Sant'Angelo, in Puglia, in the Green Cave, the cultural center of Legambiente, operational and permanent headquarters of the FestambienteSud festival.

The exhibition, entitled Edward Burtynsky: Xylella Studies , will be open from 12 to 30 August 2023 . The photographs, accompanied by an author's video, document the ecological disaster that has hit the olive trees in Puglia and are the result of the work started with the Sylva Foundation, a non-profit organization that deals with environmental regeneration through reforestation activities. The Foundation, which was born in 2021 precisely with the aim of regenerating the Apulian landscape, hosted the Canadian photographer author of Anthropocene in a residence in Salento, entrusting him with the task of translating the destruction of the millennial tree heritage caused by the xylella bacterium into images and videos. The synthesis of that work translates today into these exhibition itineraries of great emotional involvement.
