Anton Bossenbroek is a documentary and landscape photographer living between The Netherlands and Canada. His work investigates how hyperobjects — massive forces like pollution and industrial infrastructure — shape our world in ways that often go unnoticed.

Anton builds on 20 years of experience as a machine learning engineer and combines photography, data analysis, and geospatial imagery to explore the impact of humans on landscapes, societies, and communities. Through technology and personal observation, he reveals the far-reaching effects of industrial forces that remain hidden in daily life.

Anton merges visual and factual layers to highlight the full impact of these hidden influences. He analyzes satellite data on light pollution, requests open government documents with the help of large language models, and visits national archives in South Africa. His work grounds itself in the belief that life often conceals the larger consequences of our consumption patterns and industrial demands.

In his ongoing long-term project "Sunsetting 64 Megatons," Anton documents the largest C02 emitting plant in the world, in Secunda, South Africa, where he once worked as a Machine Learning expert. He now illustrates how the local community depends on an industry that needs to change for the sake of our climate. He weaves in portraits and personal narratives to remind viewers that these issues aren't just technical or economic—they involve real people whose lives could be upended as we shift away from carbon-intensive systems. Ultimately, Anton's work seeks to spark deeper reflection on how we can balance economic needs with our responsibility to care for both the planet and one another.
