40 years in the making, Edward Burtynsky's In the Wake of Progress is a multimedia project that bears witness to the impact of human industry on the planet.This spectacular experience, available to audiences beginning June 2022 as unique indoor and outdoor presentations, challenges us to have an important conversation about our legacy and the future implications of sustainable life on Earth.
Co-produced by Canadian music legend Bob Ezrin (known for his work with Pink Floyd, Andrea Bocelli, Peter Gabriel, Taylor Swift and many others), In the Wake of Progress is a 22-minute event combining video and photographs from throughout Burtynsky’s career, fully choreographed to an original score composed by Phil Strong, with vocals by award-winning Cree Métis artist iskwē and performances by musicians of The Glenn Gould School at The Royal Conservatory of Music.
Commissioned and co-produced by Luminato Festival Toronto, and premiering as the marquee event of the Festival’s opening weekend at Yonge-Dundas Square on June 11 and 12, 2022, In the Wake of Progress will be a stunning takeover of the Square’s surrounding digital screens, enveloping audiences in a 280° array of his famous imagery, including new and never-before-seen work.
On the heels of the free, outdoor world premiere, In the Wake of Progress will launch as an indoor immersive experience in Toronto following the festival on June 25.
“My hope is that this project, presented in venues and public squares globally — reaching nearly as far as I have travelled to create it — will provide a poignant statement illustrating the extent of human taking for the sake of modern progress. Places that were once, just beyond recent memory, abundant and pristine nature, are now transformed into landscapes of glass and concrete, sound and light. Where once there were forests, dense with biodiversity, now there are concrete jungles dense with the trappings of human life.” — Edward Burtynsky

A 1st edition, signed copy of Natural Order*
In Spring 2020, Edward Burtynsky found himself in mandated lockdown in Grey County, Ontario due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The lockdown presented him with an opportunity to get out into the surrounding landscape, new camera in hand, and begin focusing on Nature as his subject matter. The result is a new series titled Natural Order, which recalls Burtynsky's earliest works as a photographer.

A signed copy of the Chai Limited Edition book*
In October 2014, Edward Burtynsky embarked on a photographic journey that took him 4,000 kilometres across Eastern Europe to capture current landscapes of “scarred” sites of the Holocaust. This journey resulted in over 250 photographic images. Burtynsky in collaboration with a team assembled by Lord Cultural Resources that includes Gail Lord, architect Daniel Libeskind, Holocaust scholar Doris Bergen, and landscape architect Claude Cormier, selected six photographs to comprise large-scale imagery for the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa, Canada.
All the photographs are of the sites as they appear in their 21st-century setting – and this underlines the theme of “legacy”. The legacy of the Holocaust is to understand what happened, and to remember especially when the “markers” have, or are being, eradicated by human and natural processes.
To provide a more complete context for this imagery, and for the selection of the portfolio, this book presents a broader sampling of key images from that expedition.

A 1st edition, signed copy of Salt Pans*
Consisting of 31 aerial photos of the salt pans in the Little Rann of Kutch, India, the project is the result of months of intricate negotiations and preparations. These striking geometric images, taken in an intense ten-day period during which Burtynsky photographed from a helicopter, present the pans, wells and vehicle tracks as abstract, painterly patterns: subtly colored rectangles crossed by grids of gestural lines. And yet the reality behind the ironic beauty of Burtynsky’s pictures is a harsh one. Each year 100,000 poorly paid Agariya workers toil in the pans, extracting over a million tons of salt from the floodwaters of the nearby Arabian Sea. Furthermore, receding groundwater levels, combined with debt, diminishing market values as well as a lack of governmental support, threaten the future of this 400-year-old tradition and the lives dependent on it.
"The images in this book are not about the battles being fought on the ground”, Burtynsky writes. "Rather, they examine this ancient method of providing one of the most basic elements of our diet; as primitive industry and as abstract two-dimensional human marks upon the landscape."

A 1st edition, signed copy of Pentimento*
The Pentimento project is a suite of black and white prints produced from unintentionally distressed Type 55 Polaroid negatives originally made as test-shots in the Chittagong Delta of Bangladesh, where Burtynsky photographed his celebrated Shipbreaking series. Replete with the blemishes and scars of the photographic process, the images have a raw and painterly appearance and an intimate appeal. Opening his archive to the viewer by realizing in print the intermediate stage of one of his most celebrated bodies of work, Burtynsky shines an unprecedented light on the evolution of his imagery. The result is a captivating body of work that describes the ghost image lying beneath the work’s surface:
“The image under the image: pentimento. It’s a word drawn from the scholarship of painting, and it describes when the artist has painted over a section of canvas, yet traces of the earlier image persist, reemerging over time. The under-painting rises up as a ghost into the final work, revealing the process of how the painting came to be. Borrowing the word from that context, I apply it to photography, a medium redolent of time, memory and revelation.” — Edward Burtynsky.

A special edition, signed copy of Residual Landscapes*
Since the inception of photography, the landscape has largely been a genre concerned with the contemplation of sublime nature. By the late twentieth century, however, the seismic effects wrought by industry demanded a new vision. For the last twenty years this has been the artistic concern of photographer Edward Burtynsky.
Burtynsky characterizes his theme as, "the landscape changed in the pursuit of progress". Working with a large-format view camera, Burtynsky has journeyed from the mines of Sudbury to the marble quarries of Italy. And what he found in the aftermath of the extraction of resources, the affluence of industry and the reclamation of materials was the "residual landscape", a poetic document embedded with metaphors for architecture, archeology and art.
Residual Landscapes presents a portfolio of twenty-four photographs accompanied by an interview conducted by Michael Torosian.
The text has been composed in Linotype Optima and Palatino and hand-printed letterpress on Hahnemühle Biblio paper. The brilliance of the original prints has been preserved in the sumptuous portfolio of four-colour stochastic reproductions, printed on Utopia Premium ivory paper, and varnished. The edition has been quarter-bound, by hand, in black Canapetta book cloth with burgundy Bugra paper over boards.
