Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber create dioramas depicting a world without humans. Courtesy Nix + Gerber Their ongoing series "The City" imagines a parallel universe where humankind is extinct and nature has started to reclaim the land. Courtesy Nix + Gerber "I want to encourage people to really think more about the world around them, and the difficulties we as a species are facing," said Nix. Courtesy Nix + Gerber Nix and Gerber started the project in 1999. Courtesy Nix + Gerber Each diorama takes between seven to 15 months to build. Courtesy Nix + Gerber The duo have since created about 30 scenes to date. Courtesy Nix + Gerber Nix designs and builds the overall architecture of the dioramas, and photographs the finished products.
