The City & Other Stories by Lori Nix & Kathleen Gerber

The City and Other Stories is a brand new photography exhibition by US artists Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber opening at the Wex Photo Video London Gallery from 5 to 31 March 2020 – the first time the work has been exhibited publicly in the UK.

Working collaboratively at their studios in Brooklyn and Cincinnati, Lori and Kathleen have been constructing and photographing meticulously detailed model environments for 19 years. Inspired by their urban surroundings and childhood experiences of natural disasters such as floods and tornadoes, within this unusual body of work, they represent a bleak and haunting picture of a future world without mankind. Each diorama takes anywhere between one and 15 months to construct. The work featured in the exhibition was created and captured between 2005 and 2017.
