Helbig has created aerial photos of a
revolution occurring in the political
economy, psyche and the environment
of Canada’s largest watershed. Helbig’s
vertiginous viewpoint blurs the distinction
between straight documentary
and abstract imagery. Presenting familiar
locations from a different perspective,
the images prompt the viewer
to ask questions about this massive
project occurring in Canada’s own
backyard.
