Winner, Canadian Museum Association Award for Research in ArtA
controversial idea currently under vigorous and passionate
international debate that would recognize the "human signature" on
the planet.Anthropocene is the latest book by Edward Burtynsky,
Jennifer Baichwal, and Nicholas de Pencier to chronicle the massive
and irreversible impact of humans on the Earth -- on a geological
scale.In photographs that are both stunning and disconcerting,
Burtynsky, Baichwal, and de Pencier document species extinction
(the burning of elephant tusks to disrupt the illegal trade of
ivory), technofossils (swathes of discarded plastic forming
geological layers), and terraforming (mines and industrial
agriculture).The book also features a range of essays by artists,
curators, and scientists, some part of an international group of
scientists who have proposed that the Earth is now entering a new
era of geological time where human activity is the driving force
behind environmental and geological change -- i.e. the
Anthropocene. Thus the book brings contemporary art into
conversation with environmental science and anthropology on a topic
that urgently affects all of us.Anthropocene was published to
coincide with a major international exhibition that opened
simultaneously in September 2018 at the Art Gallery of Ontario and
the National Gallery of Canada and the release of a film on the
same topic by Baichwal and de Pencier.
