Botanic Garden Poster

From their series The City, featured in Fotografiska's 2024 exhibition Human/Nature, the Brooklyn team of Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber produced this arresting image of a miniature botanical conservatory in a state of abandonment, where the exotic plants have begun to reclaim their environment, naturally redesigning the artificially cultivated greenhouse they find themselves in.

In their meticulously modeled and photographed dioramas, Nix and Gerber propose urban environments devoid of humanity, where the grid of human design and scale subsides beneath the chaotic order of Nature. Here the rescaled elements in their architectural model appear, in some instances, to have expanded disproportionately, producing giant pitcher plants, seed palettes and amphibians, amidst the unruly, expansive growth. Nature will have the last word.
