Burtynsky: Extraction/Abstraction

Saatchi’s incredible exhibition is a spotlight in the distinguished 40+ year career of the globally acclaimed photographic artist, Edward Burtynsky and is on show until 6 May.

Discover a staggering collection of 94 of Burtynsky’s masterful large-format photographs, complemented by 13 high-resolution murals and even an augmented reality experience. Adding to the spectacle, the centrepiece of the exhibition will be an immersive film presentation of In the Wake of Progress (2022).

This must-see display of multimedia creativity and talent will open your eyes, and provide a glimpse into Burtynsky’s life-long observation of humanity’s incursion into the natural world and the environmental consequences of industrial processes. In an exceptional review by the FT, the critic writes that it ‘brings a giant’s eye to view our ravaged planet’ and is a ‘defiant yet provocative exhibition’. You won’t want to miss this.
