Visions of the future, horror scenarios or purely idyllic scenes? The photographic works by the New York artist Lori Nix show a world without people – a world reclaimed and ruled by Nature.

Lori Nix is a storyteller par excellence. In her photographs she whisks the viewer off to fictive places such as a museum, library, launderette or shopping mall, which bear testimony to the past existence of human beings on this earth and the achievements of their civilisations. With her photographs, whose motifs are based on small-scale dioramas that she constructs herself, the artist threatens to topple our anthropocentric view of the world. Human control centres and public places are reduced to absurdity. Nature alone remains, the last bastion of life.

Lori Nix - The city
Brooklyn-based artist Lori Nix considers herself a “faux landscape” photographer. Heavily influenced by extreme weather and disaster films, Nix creates intricate dioramas by hand that she then photographs with a large-format 8×10 film camera. In her latest body of work, The City, Nix imagines a post-apocalyptic world devoid of human inhabitants. The exhibition features large-scale photographs of urban settings–museums, classrooms, bars, and laundromats among others–in varying states of decay being slowly reclaimed by Mother Nature. These strikingly eerie images bring to mind everything from Logan’s Run to present day Detroit and give viewers a glimpse of a possible future.
