Bethany de Forest is an artist who works with dioramas. Her miniature sets are captured by means of photography and film. Seemingly life-size worlds wherein she creates her own reality.
Recurring theme in her work is the border between Utopia and Dystopia. Climate change, industrialisation and in this case the bio industry are a visual inspiration for her. All background visuals in ‘CHICK WASH’ are miniature sets built in her studio.
