Edward Burtynsky is considered one of the world's most important photographers. His impressive photographic depictions of global industrial landscapes represent his 40-year commitment to documenting the effects of human industrialisation on the planet. Iceland is particularly prone to soil erosion. A thousand years of deforestation to enable farming have left it vulnerable to the frequent high winds that scatter topsoil. As a consequence, arable land is dwindling. Flying over the Thjorsá, the country's longest river, you can see how the current shapes erosive silt into wispy patterns. Volcanic minerals are responsible for the surreal colours of the country's famous lakes and rivers. The newly released pictures from 2012 are part of Burtynsky's major series "Water". The photographs from the "Coast Mountains“ series were taken in the summer of 2023, during the devastating forest fires in Canada. They document the rapid melting of the glaciers.

The "White" series by Loredana Nemes was created in January of this year. The artist then works a relief relevant to the image into the gelatin silver prints.

»There are days when heaven and earth disappear and what remains is beautiful. There are days when you can cut firs from clouds and look at them for a long time. Then the now glows so alone. There are days when world becomes picture and one can be part of it. And also the camera is there and it marvels and it freezes, too. And when the freezing is so huge that the laughter sets in, and the luck, then fear and war vanish and everything is white.« Loredana Nemes
