Depleted nature
appears either as a precious legacy that needs to be put under strict
supervision and kept alive at all costs, or as being used purely for
entertainment purposes. Critical, yet prophetic, the images remind us of
early science-fiction, in which nature does not exist anymore.
Combining landscape photographs with computer-generated 3D models, Halso
uses digital processes to create scenes that convey a pessimistic,
highly artificial atmosphere, revealing nature to be a limited resource
that can be exploited to the point of no return.
