The exhibition is called Beautiful Destruction, the photographs are aerials of the Alberta tar sands, and the artist is Louis Helbig.
The photo you see above is a "thick layer of residual bitumen and a thin film of oil/bitumen reflecting both a late summer sunset and the sky on the Albian Sands Muskeg River Mine tar pond."
Isn't it amazing how a photograph can transmit such a startling image of human destruction so beautifully? See the photos for yourself and find out what they stir up in you:
