Interview: Stuart Hall's Giga Project

Stuart Hall first visited the Tar Sands in Fort McMurray, Canada in 2011 and tries to return almost every year since to capture what he terms the Giga-project – the largest industrial project in human history. The process of extracting the bitumen is, according to environmentalists, the world’s most damaging activity. The scale is so enormous that the wound can be seen from space.
