Abused Aqua Photo Projects

Watermark by Edward Burtynsky Brings Awareness to Diminishing Resource

— April 2, 2014 — Eco
There are many documentaries out there heralding the end of nature as people know it and Watermark by Edward Burtynsky, a photographer based in Toronto, Canada, can be considered one of them. Yet people may not recognize that fact right away. A series that involves both a film and book, it brings light to one of the most abused natural resources in the world. Yet there are no speeches or text to explain the images.

Created in collaboration with film director Jennifer Baichwal, Watermark by Edward Burtynsky is a series of stunning images that will inspire people on various levels. He says, "I think our films have always tried to create a space to think about something in a different way, rather than telling you what to think. Sometimes what ends up happening in didactic politics is people have a binary response: People either agree with you or don’t. And that’s the end of the conversation."
Trend Themes
1. Awareness-driven Art Photography - Opportunity for artists to use photography as a medium to raise awareness about pressing global issues such as the abuse of natural resources.
2. Visual Storytelling Without Words - Innovative approach to conveying powerful messages through images without relying on traditional text or speeches.
3. Collaborative Multimedia Projects - Exploring the potential of combining film and book mediums to create impactful and thought-provoking artistic projects.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Photography - Artists and photographers have an opportunity to utilize their skills to shed light on important environmental and social issues.
2. Film and Documentary - Filmmakers and documentary producers can explore innovative approaches to storytelling and visual communication through collaborative projects.
3. Publishing and Literature - Publishers and authors can consider new ways of presenting narratives by integrating visuals and text in multimedia projects.
