En savoir plus sur le livre
A visceral expression of humanity's incursions on the planet and an urgent call to acknowledge our responsibility, this multidisciplinary project includes a photobook, a major traveling museum exhibition, a feature documentary film, and an interactive educational website. It is grounded in the research of the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG), which advocates for officially renaming the current geological epoch from Holocene to Anthropocene, reflecting significant human impacts on the Earth’s systems. The AWG's research categories—such as Anthroturbation, Species Extinction, Technofossils, Boundary Limits, and Terraforming—are explored through various mediums, illustrating our species' geological-scale influence. Edward Burtynsky, a Toronto-based photographer, has works in over 60 major museums, including the National Gallery of Canada and the Guggenheim Museum. His previous publications include China, Quarries, Oil, Water, and Salt Pans. Jennifer Baichwal has directed documentaries for over 20 years, including Manufactured Landscapes, which focused on Burtynsky's work in China. Nicholas de Pencier is a documentary director and producer, known for projects like Let It Come Down: The Life of Paul Bowles and Watermark, contributing significantly to the visual narrative of this urgent topic.
