Anthropocene is a project from the multiple-award winning team of Edward Burtynsky, Jennifer Baichwal, and Nicholas de Pencier. The artists embarked on an epic journey around the world to every continent save Antarctica, to capture the most impressive, irreversible marks of human activity. Informed by scientific research, powered by aesthetic vision, inspired by a desire to bear witness, they reveal the scale and gravity of our impact on the planet.
