Venezia Mestre
from June 21st 2024 to January 12th 2025
Edward Burtynsky’s extraordinary photographs and a series of initiatives with the participation of CMCC will be at M9 – Museum of the 20th Century in Mestre.
After the worldwide success of the exhibition Anthropocene, a multimedia exploration that documented the indelible human footprint on the earth, the photographer Edward Burtynsky continues its exploration on the impact of human action on the planet through a new exhibition which is hosted in Italy for the first time in M9 – Museum of the 20th Century, after its successful debut at the Saatchi Gallery in London, UK.
The exhibition is the largest survey on the over forty-year career of the great Canadian artist Edward Burtynksy who dedicated his life to testifying to the environmental impact of the industrial system on our planet.
Burtynsky’s work focuses on what the artist describes as “large-scale industrial incursions across the planet.”
