Bruised Lands brings together five unique, yet interconnected bodies of work, created over twelve years by documentary photographer and filmmaker Alan Gignoux in collaboration with the team at Gignoux Photos: Appalachia: Mountaintops to Moonscapes, Monuments, Oil Sands, Russian Rust Belt, and The Powers That Be.

Bruised Lands documents the relentless harvesting of natural assets and is a graphic and timely testament to the serious impact that industrial processes are having on the global environmental crisis.
