INTERVIEWS
Canadian photographer, Edward Burtynsky, renowned for his large-scale photographs of industrial landscapes and most recently, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, talks with BC about his extensive bodies of work in which he attempts to "…raise our consciousness about how we're collectively changing the landscape."
This issue also features an interview with New York-based video artist Mika Rottenberg. Meeka Walsh writes of Rottenberg's work, "The videos have elements that are unnerving and disturbing in the situations they present, but they also hold images of unexpected beauty."
