Fiona Hall's New Works: The Kermadecs

Hall's recent works focuses on the issues concerning marine life around the Pacific Ocean, especially overfishing. According to Greenpeace, overfishing is the biggest threat to the marine ecosystem. Hall reinforces this idea by the use of her nets, ships, and haunt-like skeletons of the marine animals to give us a message of how important this issue is becoming in the current world. Can we not do something about this image of our future?
