Beautiful Destruction

Tonight I helped out at my roommate's store, Koma, for the Toronto opening of Louis Helbig's Beautiful Destruction exhibit. The aerial photographs of the Alberta Tar Sands really must be seen as large prints to fully be appreciated. The atrocious and the stunning are merged so harmoniously, it almost makes you feel guilty for accepting their appeal.







The photo below is not of the Alberta Tar Sands but is one of my favourites from his other work.
