Revisiting Burtynsky
(Thanks to my friend Oki for alerting me to this video!)
Back in July, I wrote about photographer Ed Burtynsky’s journey through China in the documentary, “Manufactured Landscapes,” directed by Jennifer Baichwal. See my original post here. And check out Burtysnky’s personal Web site here.
In a follow-up to that original post, here’s a video from February 2005, which I saw on Glumbert, that shows Burtynsky giving a talk about sustainability and industrial landscapes for his acceptance of the 2005 TEDPrize. He flips through a slideshow of some amazing large-scale photographs, including the Three Gorges Dam, a 90,000-employee shoe factory near Shenzhen, urban renewal in Shanghai and a recycling yard. I’ll let the photos do the talking, because a picture is worth a thousand words…
(There’s also an incredible clip of a factory worker in an assembly line producing a circuit board by hand with lightning-speed–I’ve never seen anything like it!)
