Edward Burtynsky: The Great Acceleration exhibition at the International Center of Photography showcases the artist’s largest print to date, emphasizing his signature style of capturing landscapes altered by human industry. With a career spanning over 40 years, Burtynsky’s work has always been characterized by its grand scale and unique perspectives, often taken from aerial viewpoints.

One of the highlights of the exhibition is the massive 28-by-28-foot mural titled “Pivot Irrigation #8, High Plains, Texas Panhandle, USA” from 2012. This striking piece transforms farmland into an almost abstract composition, with geometric patterns and subdued colors creating a mesmerizing visual experience. The sheer size of the print dominates the gallery space, immersing viewers in a world where human impact on the environment is both awe-inspiring and concerning.

Curator David Campany’s curation of the exhibition reflects the “bigger is better” ethos that often surrounds Burtynsky’s work. While the artist’s panoramic images draw attention to large-scale environmental issues, such as mining and industrial agriculture, Campany also includes lesser-known works that focus on more intimate subjects like food plant laborers and marshlands. These images offer a different perspective on Burtynsky’s artistry, showcasing his eye for detail and formal composition.

However, the grandeur of Burtynsky’s large-scale prints can sometimes overshadow the human stories behind the landscapes he captures. The exhibition’s terrace level provides a glimpse into the artist’s more personal and ordinary work, reminding viewers of the human cost of industrialization and development.

Overall, Edward Burtynsky: The Great Acceleration offers a thought-provoking exploration of humanity’s impact on the planet, inviting viewers to reflect on the consequences of our actions. The exhibition runs at the International Center of Photography until September 28, curated by David Campany.
