Nix and Gerber started the project in 1999 and have since created about 30 scenes, including a church, library, museum and casino. "Rather than go out into the world in search of these scenes, I choose to stay in my apartment and build my own worlds." Think of it as a journey through apocalyptic architecture. Their ongoing series -- titled "The City" -- imagines a parallel universe where humankind is extinct and nature has already started to reclaim the concrete jungle. Just ask New York creatives Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber, who explore otherworldly places from the comfort of their apartment, making dioramas of settings devoid of humans.
