Finnish photographer and artist Ilkka Halso ecame well known in architecture blogs with her project Museum of Nature. Born in Orimattila, Finland 1965 and currently living and working in Orimattila, Ilkka has a Master of Arts, 1992, University of Art and Design in Helsinki (UIAH). Now we want to share another interesting project: Restoration.

In her own words:

My project approaches the restoration of nature in the means of technology and science. I show Ironic visions of mans relation to nature and his confidence in technology in solving problems caused by his own activities.

I builded fictive restoration sites. Scaffoldings are covering objects of nature instead of houses and man-made objects. Trees, boulders, rock faces and fields are under repair.
Scaffoldings in the landscape: Modular “toybricks” come up from chaotic order of nature. A new geometrical space conquers landscape.
I seek consciously monumental approach to my subjects. Scaffoldings and artificial.

And adds:

Lightning settings highlight and frame nature objects and detach them from everyday life context. The object of nature and construction site that surrounds it form together a colossal installation.
