A truly impressive exhibition.
"In 1997 Edward Burtynsky had what he now calls his "oil epiphany". Having just filled up his car at a petrol station, it came to him that, as he puts it, "the vast, human-altered landscapes that I pursued and photographed for over 20 years were only made possible by the discovery of oil and the mechanical advantage of the internal combustion engine". His work ever since has been about oil: its production, transportation and myriad uses as well as the environmental cost engendered by the same." (from: Guardian.com)
