Edward Burtynsky, born February 22, 1955 is a Canadian photographer and artist known for his large format photographs of industrial landscapes. His works depict locations from around the world that represent the increasing development of industrialisation and its impacts on nature and the human existence. It is most often connected to the philosophical concept of the sublime, a trait established by the grand scale of the work he creates, though they are equally disturbing in the way they reveal the context of rapid industrialisation.

Burtynsky is an advocate for environmental conservationism and his work is deeply entwined in his advocacy. His work comments on the scars left by industrial capitalism while establishing an aesthetic for environmental devastation, the sublime-horrors discussed in a number of essays on the topic of his work.

This image is of a big car park. It shows how many cars there are in one singular car park. I chose to analyse this image because I find it very interesting that Burtynsky chose cars to represent Typography and Anthropocene a lot of the time. This image to me shows pollution and the damage cars and other vehicles are doing to the world. This image is taken from a height and looking down onto a field or grass car park of some sort this gives us a view of how many cars are in this car park.

This is an image is of a lot of cars that are going to be destroyed as they are all damaged, crashed and being used for scraps. I think this image symbolises typography and Anthropocene as cars play a major part in polluting the world. I think Burtynsky captured this image perfectly to show and represent the significant damage that cars do to the earth.
