Video: Manufactured Landscapes
This video was about Edward Burtynsky's work and his views on how industrial landscapes are a part of who we are and how we interact with our planet. He photographed landscapes that have been transformed by man. He photographed coal mines, and how you can see the extractions of the landscape. He photographed China's Ewaste and how it overpowers the lives of the ones who live there. He photographed oil workers in Bangladesh and how the workers never live to be over 30 because it is so dangerous. He photographed much more during this video documentary, but Edward Burtynsky is trying to get across that nobody of course wants to give up what we already have, but we need to realize what we are doing to this planet, and how it is affecting the people and the atmosphere even though we might not realize it effecting our own lives. We need to develop a whole new way of thinking in order for this planet to change its ways of doing things.
