“Lori Nix / Kathleen Gerber: Empire”

Working with foam, cardboard, glue and paint, artists Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber construct intricate dioramas that depict decaying urban landscapes. The duo photographs these pieces with an 8 x 10 camera, creating detailed photographs that blur the line between fantasy and reality. The “Empire” series of photos depicts a world that is facing the consequences of climate change and explores how humanity's architectural achievements are surrendered to nature.
