[AGL] MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES, Feb. 14, Alamo Drafthouse

[Connie Clark]

ok.  I know Butynsky - Bangladesh shipbreaking photos
- having seen them here at fotofest and reporting back
to the list. year before last? The photos are both
pretty to look at, as well as tell a story we would
have likely missed. 

Quote from fotofest catalogue:
"depicts an industrial and economic system that has
lost its rationality, and a hypocritical politics of
waste that is now a global problem. What his
photographs brilliantly elucidate is the underside of
our global economy: dumping waste, whether it is
molten copper tailings or old oil taners, is an
ongoing reality of global, industrial detritus.  He
visually brings the contradictions and consequences of
our actions back to us in awesome and ambiguous
images."

This should be a beautiful documentary, Kathy, thanks
for posting - wish I could be there.
