Manufactured landscape is the documentary film about working of photographer , Edward Burtynsky. In my opinion , its name sounds interesting for me because this name compounds of two words that seem to be opposite, manufacture and landscape. Manufacture is the word about industrial process or producing something by machine , opposite to landscape that seems to be about nature. From the film , two quote I am interested in are :
'landscape from industry' and
'aesthetic or environmental crisis'
'Landscape from industry' is my first focus topic because this film is all about taking photos of landscape from industrial process , recycle process , employees , industrial waste and environmental effect. I think that these photos show the way industry form the new definition of landscape. This kind of landscape is not necessary to be created from nature. It can be indoor or outdoor. It can be created by humans or objects. It can be systematic or unpredictable. It can be good or bad. It can even be construction or destruction. The process of creating manufactured landscape is various and the result is also various.
'Aesthetic or environmental crisis' is my second topic. The photos of manufactured landscape are all beautiful , but I think at the same time , it can warn us about the environmental crisis that we are facing. It makes me think about the way we spend natural resource , the way we do with industrial waste and recycling system , the way our lifestyle change because of industry. There are a lot of warning behind the beautiful picture. I think Burtynsk's photos are more than the photos , more than the art project , they are something that can reflect our surrounding situation and also ourselves.
