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. The photographs provide vantages for discussion of the future of the environment. Whether the landscapes are seen as an environmental disaster or human progress, these works bear witness to the changing planet.

Festival Delle Scienze Roma

In collaboration with the Sylva Foundation

Xylella fastidiosa is a phytopathogen associated with serious diseases in a wide range of plants. In Europe it was first detected in 2013 on olive trees in southern Puglia, and then spread to France, Spain and Portugal. In less than a decade it has led to the rapid drying of more than 20 million olive trees in Salento, where the monoculture of the olive tree is widespread. In 2021 the Sylva Foundation, which carries out land redevelopment activities mainly through reforestation, commissioned the famous photographer Edward Burtynsky to document the environmental disaster that occurred in the olive groves in Puglia. A selection of ten prints of his work is hosted in this Festival exhibition and at the Pino Pascali Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art.

CHAUMONT-PHOTO-SUR-LOIRE
Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire,
Centre D'Arts et de Nature

This fourth edition of Chaumont-Photo-sur-Loire brings together five artists or duo of artists linked by their emotion in front of the landscape, always standing in front of it, according to the beautiful formula of François Cheng, "open eye and beating heart", that this landscape either admired without reservation for its splendor or viewed in all the complexity of a beauty scarred by human action.

Showing Burtynsky’s images in Chaumont, a hotspot for interdisciplinary dialogue, is part of the spirit of the project, driven by the desire to bring the ecological question to the attention of as many people as possible.
