The event is part of the Arctic Imagination series, which focuses on an Arctic in rapid change through international conversations between artists, researchers and writers. Since Burtynsky was 11 years old, when he was given a camera and a darkroom by his father, he has developed his practice. He has since become world-renowned for his large-format photographs of the changing nature. They act as a testimony, an insight into the landscapes that have been influenced by man. The industrial landscapes – oil fields, mine pits, cramped highway links – are both a consequence of human activity and a necessity for sustaining our modern life.
