This absorbing new work from acclaimed Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky tells the story of human industry’s impact on Earth with exquisite artistry and extraordinary scale, urging us to rethink our legacy and seek a more sustainable future.

40 years in the making, In the Wake of Progress combines the most powerful photographs and film footage of Burtynsky’s career, characterised by award-winning aerial work and dramatic industrial landscapes. Co-produced by Canadian music legend Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed) and set to a stirring original score by multi award-winning composer Phil Strong, the result is a deeply moving 22-minutes.

Premiering at Luminato Festival Toronto in June 2022, In the Wake of Progress now comes to Oxford Street’s Taylor Square, where passers-by and art pilgrims alike will experience this urgent call to action, and search for hope through art.
