Lori Nix: The Power of Nature - Hardcover

What is left when humankind no longer exists? The work of the American artist Lori Nix (b. 1969) offers possible answers: with her photographs, which are based on self-built, small-format dioramas, she unsettles our people-focused world view. Former animated places are robbed of their function, the supremacy of man displaced. A spark of hope nevertheless mingles within these bleak visions, for the ousted nature reclaims its territory as a last bastion of the living.
