Edward Burtynsky's first monograph in French, this survey book gathers several of his major series combined in both formal and metaphorical associations. The selection of 140 photographs includes both iconic and unpublished work for the most part.

Imagined by the artist and William E. Ewing, this selection spans over 30 years of work and is enriched with critical texts, contributing both to a comprehensive understanding of the artist's singular vision of the world.
