Title A name given to the resource <em>Silver Lake Operations #1, Lake Lefroy, Western Australia</em> Description An account of the resource From the series "Mines" Edward Burtynsky’s work explores the theme of nature transformed through industry. He travels internationally to make vibrant photographs of places generally unfamiliar to the public—quarries, refineries, recycling yards, and mines. Here he captures an aerial view of a goldmining operation in Western Australia. The photograph is aesthetically beautiful yet its subject raises concerns about the impact of human beings on the environment. The artist explains: “These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. We are drawn by desire—a chance at good living, yet we are consciously or unconsciously aware that the world is suffering for our success.” Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007 Relation A related resource 2008-2009 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource JPEG Type The nature or genre of the resource Still Image Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2009.1.1 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Edward Burtynsky Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource © Edward Burtynsky 1985-2013, All Rights Reserved
