"Shipbreaking #2, Chittagong, Bangladesh" is a large format chromogenic print that documents the industrial dismantling of decommissioned vessels on the beaches of Chittagong, one of the world's largest ship recycling centers. Burtynsky's photograph captures the massive scale and human labor involved in breaking down ships, revealing the environmental and social costs of global maritime commerce through his characteristic aerial or elevated perspective. The work exemplifies Burtynsky's practice of using photographic documentation to render visible the often invisible infrastructures and landscapes shaped by industrial extraction and manufacturing processes.
