EDWARD BURTYNSKY "AMARC #3, ARIZONA" 2006
Edward Burtynsky is Canada’s most successful photographer.
Burtynsky's images reveal a planet altered by human ambition. For nearly a decade (1999-2008), he focused on his "Oil" series which depicted the production and consequences of the global oil market in four countries: China, USA, Canada and Azerbaijan. He produced images of oil fields, refineries, automobiles, motorways, disposal and recycling areas, transportation, and oil sands.
While some of the images in his oil series directly depict the extraction process, this image reflects the consequences of oil use. AMARC (now 309th AMARG), commonly known as The Boneyard, is a US Air Force aircraft and missile storage facility in Tucson, Arizona.
Burtynsky captures a vast portrait without losing the visual details. Partially stripped and repaired jets sit row upon row, fading into the sides of the frame and mountains in the distance. These organized lines of planes become an almost minimalist installation in their precise repetition and pattern. There is something both commanding in style and content, representing not only the power of the US military but the consumption, sheer volume of equipment, and the global implications of these elements.
Despite the commentary on society and environmental capitalization, the image is incredibly beautiful with its sober palette, composition and curious military elegance.
Today Burtynsky's work can be found in the permanent collection of countless museums including the National Gallery of Canada, the Guggenheim, TATE Modern (London) and MoMA to mention a few.
