The International Center of Photography in NYC is hosting Edward Burtynsky's first solo institutional exhibition in 20 years, featuring over 40 years of his photography. His work explores the extensive impact of human industry on the environment through a lens of 'concerned photography'. With both early and recent pieces displayed, Burtynsky captures the scale of human-induced changes from aerial views to intimate portraits. Curator David Campany emphasizes the importance of viewing these significant works in person to grasp their collective impact and depth, contrasting them with digital experiences.
"I kind of knew then that we were talking about a human population explosion."
"These photos are not the kind meant to be viewed on a smartphone."
