The Paradise Dioramas explores climate change as a moment of origin and birth of a new environmental mythology. Video works consider how the speed and frequency of media desensitize us to stories of disaster, offering an antidote to compassion fatigue and avenue for environmental empathy. Wax disaster survival kits ruminate on the personal experience of climate crisis.
CultureHub LA Resident Artist Isabel Beavers collaborates with Noctvrnal, an immersive technology and audio production studio, to examine our capacity for climate adaptation and rebuilding. Using the diorama form, Beavers creates a slippage between what is real and imagined, what is the past and what is the future, and turns the human-as-viewer-of-nature in on itself.
