Max Hooper Schneider’s miniature dioramas present a fascinating blend of ecology and technology, depicting a post-human future where the remnants of human civilization intertwine with otherworldly organic growth. His works, such as “Cereal Cave” and “UNDERTOW MOON,” showcase environments within small vitrines that transform everyday objects into relics of a bygone era, now consumed by vibrant, grotesque life forms.
Schneider’s concept of the trans-habitat reflects a world in constant flux, where creation and destruction cycle endlessly, and humanity’s primary role is questioned. His upcoming solo show at UCCA Beijing promises to further explore these themes, offering a glimpse into a future where nature and technology coexist in an unsettling yet captivating balance.
