Robert Burley Great Lakes - The Common Horizon of Inland Seas

Spanning the border between Canada and the United States, making it disappear within its colossal, flowing expanse, the Great Lakes basin is home to millions of people. An extraordinary source of surface drinking water, among the largest in the world; a place of movement and exchange, commerce, work, leisure, travel, and meditation, but also of exploitation, danger, and vulnerability; this immense basin has been observed from the diversity of its shores by Robert Burley.
Here, the artist creates a body of work as unique as it is exceptional, where the grandiose beauty of this elusive expanse evolves into a reflection on the power of the contemporary image.
In partnership with Biinaagami, Swim Drink Fish, and Canadian Geographic. This project has been designated as part of the Bicentenary of Photography by the Ministry of Culture.
