Life is a Roller Coaster

Very post modern. Very pretty. Illka Halso works with digitally manipulated photos depicting possible - though not always plausible - constructions situated in almost archetypical nature environments.

At first glance the questions concerning the nature of human civilization are the most obvious. Is society going down a path leading to environmental destruction to the degree of making museums of the last remaining forests, lakes and grasslands? At a deeper level Halso also seems to examine the foundations of what we consider to be "natural" and what kind of impact the human experience has to that concept. There is also a metadiscussion about photography and realism taking place.
