Diorama: Tiniest Apocalypse Ever


Tiniest Apocalypse Ever by Brooklyn-based photographer Lori Nix

Constructing these dioramas is a painstaking process. Nix only manages to create about three in each year.  Because it takes so much effort, she constructs them with extraordinary care.  In this series, she portrays crumbling institutions in the aftermath of the apocalypse.
“I think these are incredibly important places to learn about ourselves, learn what it means to be human,” says Nix. “These institutions are telling us about our pasts so that we may avoid the same mistakes in the future. Unfortunately, we’re not listening very well.”
