Description

The Alberta oil/tar sands are a spot of superlatives, of awesome beauty and equally awesome destruction. They’re a kaleidoscope of contrasts, colours and patterns keeping time with the seemingly unstoppable movement of machinery, smoke and effluent set in a major boreal landscape with its own immutable patterns, cadence and cycles.

Beautiful Destruction is a huge-format, high quality photography book that uses over 230 stunning, full-colour aerial photographs to transcend the polarities that dominate public discourse of the most important industrial project in North The united states: the Alberta oil/tar sands.

With short essays by renowned personalities Bill McKibben, Charles Wilkinson, Duff Connacher, Elizabeth Would possibly, Eric Reguly, Ezra Levant, Jennifer Grant, Rick George, Gil McGowan, Allan Adam, Megan Leslie and Francis Scarpaleggia from both sides of the oil/tar sands debate discussing the artistic, industrial and environmental perceptions of northern Albertas petroleum-based mega-project, Beautiful Destruction is among the such a lot ambitious, provocative and unique photography projects to be published in years.
