Edward Burtynsky's 'Transformed Earth' Exhibition Opens in Antalya
Prepared in collaboration with the Borusan Group and Borusan Contemporary, Edward Burtynsky's 'Transformed Earth' exhibition will meet visitors at Akra Antalya during COP31.
In collaboration with the Borusan Group and Borusan Contemporary, world-renowned artist Edward Burtynsky's 'Transformed Earth' exhibition, which documents the impacts of human activities on the Earth, will be presented to art enthusiasts at Akra Antalya during COP31.
Transforming sustainability into an approach based on people and innovation, the Borusan Group is contributing to international dialogue through art within the scope of the COP31 United Nations Climate Change Conference. The works of Canadian artist Edward Burtynsky, who has been documenting the traces of human activities on Earth for over forty years, are being exhibited through the collaboration of Borusan Holding and Borusan Contemporary. The organization is hosted by Akra Antalya, which carries out its sustainability efforts within the framework of the Ethical Tourism program.
Reshaped within the framework of COP31, the exhibition focuses on humanity's impact on nature and the ecological heritage to be passed down to future generations. The artist reveals the lasting consequences generated by progress through extensive landscape studies covering industrial production areas, mines, and agricultural lands.
One of the prominent parts of the exhibition consists of the "Erosion" series, produced upon the commission of the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection and with the contributions of the TEMA Foundation. Burtynsky's aerial shoots conducted across the geography of Anatolia bring together the memory of the soil and human intervention. Additionally, the 22-minute multimedia experience titled "In the Wake of Progress," which combines the artist's productions with the music of award-winning composer Phil Strong, is meeting audiences for the first time within this scope.
