Industrial Aesthetics

Industrial Aesthetics
Edward Burtynsky’s large format aerial photographs shed light on remote locations, foregrounding the impact of human activity on  natural landscapes. The poignant images offer a surprising and often unnerving beauty, reflecting the complex and damaging relationship between man and the environment.
 
The works are on display at UNB Art Centre until 6 April. Find out more here.
