The presentation this year will feature an exclusive release of new photographs from Edward Burtynsky's forthcoming project on the subject of Africa. Looking at both the natural African landscape as well as areas that have been transformed through resource extraction, Burtynsky creates otherworldly compositions that are punctuated with intense colour and remarkable detail.

We will also feature a selection of seminal photographs by Lynne Cohen, shown in partnership with Olga Korper Gallery. Two of Canada's most important photographers, this will be the first time their work has been exhibited together. Burtynsky and Cohen shared a mutual respect for each other's practices, both using the latest photographic technologies and finding deep and otherwise undetected beauty in the man-made.

Edward Burtynsky's (1955 - ) forthcoming project on the subject of Africa is scheduled for worldwide release in the fall of 2022. This presentation offers an exclusive release of several new images from the latest series with a focus on natural landscapes as well as the otherworldly effects from coal, gold and diamond mining. With Africa, the last of the continents to experience rapid industrialization, Burtynsky is once again at the forefront of documenting its historic transition. Burtynsky has expanded his use of the aerial perspective while drawing us in with arresting abstraction, colour and scale.

Lynne Cohen (1944 - 2014) earned international acclaim for her extraordinary images of domestic and institutional interior spaces including uninhabited living rooms, public halls, spas, laboratories, offices, and showrooms. Devoid of human presence, Cohen’s work focuses our attention on the strangeness and contradictions in our constructed environments. Her highly-detailed photographs transform ordinary spaces into alien territory, calling attention to the wealth of materials, patterns and textures present in our everyday surroundings. This presentation concentrates on seminal works and those with a focus on colour, form and space.
