MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES is a film about Edward Burtynsky; showing us how and where he get his images.

Burtynsky present us for a world destroyed by human activities, but also an unexpected and breathtaking beauty in the harsh industrial landscape. As an artist he leaves the exegesis and reflection to the viewer.

My role, he says, is to produce something to meditate upon – a new kind of Rorschach open for interpretation
