A look at the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. Internationally acclaimed for his large-scale photographs of âmanufactured landscapesâ--quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines and dams--Burtynsky creates stunningly beautiful art from civilizationâs materials and debris. The film follows him through China, as he shoots the evidence and effects of that countryâs massive industrial revolution. With breathtaking sequences, such as the opening tracking shot through an almost endless factory, the filmmakers also extend the narratives of Burtynskyâs photographs, allowing us to meditate on our impact on the planet and witness both the epicenters of industrial endeavor and the dumping grounds of its waste.
