- Nix + Gerber, the duo of Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber, are miniature diorama artists who have collaborated for 14 years. They specialize in creating post-mankind settings, where buildings are crumbling and "nature takes back some of the spaces." In this wonderful and fun artist profile short documentary by filmmaking duo The Drawing Room, we meet these two compelling artists with a keen eye for the details that makes their art come to life.

These women are AMAZINGLY talented. They should be creating environments for television and video games.
Are these women lesbians?
+BlueDog 1 lol
+Mohamed Saeed 😝✊
Too expensive...it takes them the better part of a year to get a couple photos.
You know how fcking long that takes to make something so detailed especially that library with those tiny books SO WHY WOULD THEY THROW IT ALL AWAY!??!!?! SEND IT OFF TO A MUSEUM OR SOMETHING BUT DONT THROW IT AWAY
my heart broke when they threw those stuff away
they could've auctioned it off
Paulo Gaviola same here. I build dioramas and I just can't get rid of anything.
Paulo Gaviola mine too, why not sell them, I don't understand.
It will all break down eventually. We should just be happy it once existed :)
I know
Dont throw away...give them to a miniature museum
To me, the 'scene' it's a better piece of art than the photo...
AndrewDaniels for real
AndrewDaniels Imagine if they did a stop motion animation with these sets
omg why don't they sell the scenes they've complete! I would buy it!
youo
ZOEOE CL Me too.
@jmarks881 I'm sure your mom would rather throw you in the trash rather then raise you.
0 Ghostie 0 that was a good one
I know where they live i will rob the garbage and mail it to you
I don't really understand why they have come this far and only given credit to one of the artists. Seems kinda like one has the other under the thumb, I get why her mother is pissed lol.
Buddha Marijuana True but the one that doesnt have her name on it can have her name on it I dont know why she doesnt
Buddha Marijuana A lot of larger career artists aren't the ones actually making the work with their own hands (and if they do they usually have help.) It is sort of the same idea as ghost writers or dubbing over an actors voice with another actor.
Pieces could be auctioned... for charity.
Elza Gallego for fucking charity ha lol some hippie waste of time
Adit Wibowo such a nice person :)
Amy Snow ok you need to leave
Both of their names should be on the work. Period. Excellent craftsmanship!!!
You could have sold it
No, it's not worth it
It's not the detail that's amazing.
It's the concept that makes it all mindblowing.
The photograph of the diorama. It's real. But it's not. It existed. (Emphasis on the past tense) But not really. It IS photography but they don't just take the shot, they make the shot, all of it.
I am seriously blown away.
I'm ready to burn all my drawings.
This is real art.
I was shocked that they threw it all away. BUUUT That just makes the photograph all the more special. It emphasizes it's play on reality. It shows how they're able to both create and throw away "reality" the scene in the photo
I wish I had better words to explain how amazed I am and how buzzed my brain became.
It's a photograph of the way a thing used to be, of places and things that used to exist, but they are gone now. How post-apocalyptic.
Those models belong in museum's! They capture our era so well, and they look amazing! These woman would be rich if they auctioned off these awesome diorama's afterwards.
Absolutely stunning ! But I think those masterpieces deserve the signature of BOTH artists.
can you imagine a stop motion film with environments as detailed as this? amazing works of art.
i think my room could be a model for an post apocalyptic scene..... HAHAHAHAHA!! just sayin..
about every 100 years there comes along a mania for recreating environments in miniature, cabinets of wonders had display spaces that were replica mirrored halls in miniature, and progressed to the 'doll house' with it's miniature environs, I hope this inspires a new generation of creative people, they are amazing artists.
***** perhaps when you've read a few dozen books on art history and sculpture over the course of 30 years, you'll learn how to properly spell and understand what I put up...until then........
"I love to throw my scenes away because I am ready to make a new scene." these words are amazing those people are really inspiring I loved their work . Always ready to embrace new .
Very talented. Love this stuff. Put Gerbers name on it too though :)
If you didn't tell me that these were dioramas I would've thought these were actual sized rooms and interiors. They look that good, and the attention to detail is amazing. I'd love to see a stop motion animation done with these set pieces!
This, my friends, are authentic artists!
Not caring for the piece at all, is the soul of it what they create and extract at will.
they could've recycled instead of thrown away smh
That's what I was thinking about lol
Roberto Sandoval lol
They do recycle parts of the scene. Watch the video damn it.
TheExplodingChipmunk recycle as in dispose calm down dude
Yes true they could have used those props for another project, maybe paint the walls or add/remove items.
That was the only disappointment. Other than that their work is truly impressive 👏🏻👌🏼
I would set up my art studio on their curb and wait for the garbage to come.
These ladies are excellent photographers, and even better model builders! I hope they will consider donating their works to museums rather than breaking them down . . . .
did anyone else gasp when they put their finished pieces in the trash?? they're so talented!!
Nix & Gerber! This is my kind of artwork! How amazing! I could have used the projects they threw away! Dang! After all that work?! Thank you for this vid.
aww I love these little documentaries. they're so inspiring and they make you think.
AWESOME! MAKING SUCH MINIATURE OF THAT THEME TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT TO FINISH! WHOA!
Amazing diorama miniatures these ladies should make miniature scale sets for film productions, they are wonderful people. I love the Subway miniature.
That's a lot & a whole, whole lot of patience. Just incredible! I am amazed by Nix & Berger. Simply Amazing!
They need to have an art gallery/museum for all of their miniature creations... 😊😊😊 for the public to visit..
This is so cute, I would stare at it for hours probably, just imagining the people who walked through the areas, admiring the details, admiring how long it took and how much dedication - something I don't have 😂
This was INSANELY awesome!! Such great talent, patience, and beauty combined to make a complex piece. So appealing to the eye.
Amazing dioramas! Good to see others that are so detail oriented. Using a view camera as well! Thanks for the video.
Brilliant!! So envious of the obsessive engagement. Tragedy that they dispose of the finished pieces.
How do they make money doing this? If each diorama is thrown away and takes 9 months to make, they must be selling photos for 1k plus each. if so who's spending 1k on a blown up photo?
edwards99 you can sell multiple copies
edwards99 you think someone would work 9 months and sell their art for 1k? That's madness, they get more for that
edwards99 I'd honestly buy the subway one I really like it
WOW! fantastic modeling and photo work here, amazing! I wouldn't stop looking at these photos for several minutes! These would also make wonderful puzzles!
I know it is all about the photography for these ladies, but I hate to see these amazing creations thrown in the trash.
The detail is incredible, these girls are very talented.
The amount of effort and patience that must've gone into making such detailed scenes is so inspiring even teared up a lil' bit.
These ladies have MAD SKILLZ! Seriously! Nice vision and visual perspectives.
Such beautiful work! I love making miniatures, but usually stick with small things like plants, food, tools, etc. I hope to one day make whole rooms like these talented women, but I don't think I could ever throw them away.
I'm pretty sure that this takes a lot of patience especially those tiny things with the little details and all. They are amazing. You ladies are amazing. I wish I have just a percentage of your creativity and talent. Lol
please please have a museum for all the pieces you made..I can look at them all day long..for many days ❤
This made me really emotional. I guess it was just the music, the fact she said it was the end to their works and that It's a model of THEIR post-apocalyptic living room. I found it sad, but also beautiful in a sense that even if humans die off the world would stabalize and take back all of what we have made to turn it back into its original state before we started polluting the planet.
If I were looking at their art work I would definitely spend more than 4 seconds looking at it! There is so much interesting detail. The scenes are very thought provoking.
whenever I see mini sets like this, I want to shrink myself down and explore. I've always wanted to do something like that, just be able to go back and forth from my size to that so I can explore what many mini worlds there are.
I love this!!! I would just stare at the photos looking at everything. I don't understand why people go to museums and speed through the exhibit like they're being chased.
Cool! It’s wonderful that there are dedicated passionate people doing these kinds of things. Interesting job and lifestyle for sure
these women are totally amazing!!!! they create such beautiful scenes and they are so damn creative at literally building every little thing! I don't have the guts to break it up and throw it away though. takes courage and dedication. amazing!
Reality isn't a simulation, it's a collection of dioramas from these ladies
As a model builder and nationally respected artist, I am COMPLETELY blown away. Lovely! Truly!
If i'd live there i'd search the trash every day for these. I love miniatures!
This is SO AMAZING! I had thought of simply packing up my house, SO its empty and redesign my life of my own personal crafts.... something within tells me this is what I need to do.. SO, what stops me? I see things in my mind I know I want to build, craft and make my way into the world of AMAZING, but yet I did it. I feel it, I know I want to do it.. but.. Thats the problem.. " But " Of that damned " WHAT IF " .. omg..
One of the most amaizing and interesting things i have seen so far.
I guess miniatures should be kept in the museum instead of the pictures.. Then the people would love to look at the details and appreciate much more.. And yes their work is just amazing..
Don't throw that stuff away!! I would buy it from you lol. Totally amazing ladies! Thanks for sharing. (Michigan, USA)
If they used their creation as a set for a motion stop animation film. It would be amazing!
Too close to see the Illusion.
My god, these are amazing, I love how nonchalant they are about their raw talent
Even if I can see the actual work instead of the photographs, which are amazing! , I'll be happy, probably happier since I love miniature ANYTHING
i love it!! i think its amazing!! for a photographer to make there on scene is just beautiful!!
The urban explorer in me LIVES for this
We used to have a couch, that made me crack up laughing. We're the same at our place, with 2 adult model makers and two junior crafters in the house, we've discussed which pieces of furniture would go first for more storage space lol
I love miniature photography! This is a total inspiration. I photograph miniatures, but usually toys. Have never built any miniatures stuff on my own yet tho.
How do they earn for a living?
Mimi Tea I wanna know too
Probably by selling their photography art to galleries.
hope their models will be used for movies
selling their photos to magazines, blogs and other websites. they likely have a shop selling prints, books of photos, or other items with their photos printed on them. there are plenty of ways to earn money with photography.
although I'd guess atleast 1 of them has a "real" job
By creating miniature sets for advertising, magazines, book covers and album covers, but it's ART so I'm guessing they'd be on a pretty poor hourly rate if they actually bothered to log and calculate it.
Outstanding miniature work. I was mesmerized all the way through. I even can understand her destroying it at the end. As a modeled, I've cannibalized old kits for a new diorama.
I'm sure someone would have paid top dollar for those models. Breaks my heart!
Amazing. I loved the subway train and the tiny cds.
Their so chill and down to earth
That was beautiful
This makes me see how the people around me and our society limited my view of what was possible when I was younger.
Tbh they seem so chill I love it, great vid! Beautiful works of art
Totally awesome, very refined art, loved it!
i literally cried this is so aspirational
OMG! YOU THROW THEM AWAY!!.. I would pay money for one! I really liked the "library". One key thing that all modelers fail to mention is that a steady hand is a must!!... something I do not poses. But I still attempt. then attempt again, and again........
I love small models. So cute and fun. Exciting.
Truly two craftsmen. Much respect...
I'm a fucking negative person, so i was going to say negative things. I wont do it, You ladies are awesome, i love model building, and your talent is beyond anything I've ever seen.
Its crazy when you think about it deep...I need to build a tiny scale model of a toothbrush, that looks great in HD up close...where to start
I love miniature worlds. This is amazing
I love your work and hopefully I can actually see them. Sending love all the way from Manila, Philippines! Keep it up!
This is very impressive! All the people complaining about them throwing them away need to realize they are saving all the little peripherals that can be reused, once those are removed from the scene there's probably not much left that could be used for anything, it wouldn't even be a good display piece. I'm are they aren't tossing all the books, cans, cds, chairs, etc.
Oh my gosh I went to a art museum and they had the library with the big tree!
I didn't realize that my house is done in the post apocalyptic style.
Love the work. I'm really intrigued by the way you two work and I'll definitely be looking up you work! Thanks NatGeo for this video.
THIS WAS SO COOL. If had the patience, I would love doing something like this.
I really love how Tori Nix looks, like not in an 'attraction' type of way but just in general. If I created a character, she'd be like my muse.
I see talent and i see happiness in what they do & in who they are for themselves. Keep it going girls.
Ironically Stupeduos. Love it. Just watched Elgin Park feature too. I wonder if anyone in Alaska is doing these things. Ive always done music, but LOVE models and mini's
I can’t take the idea of just throwing there masterpieces away. I can’t.
Miniature killer is two people!
CSI!!!
Military/battlefield dioramas were my passion when I was a kid. I also built the Revel plastic model ships, planes and tanks and the classic Monsters of that genre; Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Forgotten Prisoner etc. Clay figures and claymation were also my thing and I was very good with all of these in miniature especially but Nothing as good as these women's Masterpieces.But I NEVER would have intentionally destroyed ANY of them, that's what all my younger brothers and sisters were for --- and they didn't disappoint either ; c
Truly truly Amazing, these ladies are next level, and they could sell the models for 1000's, but i guess they are content in life. And i would love to sit round that house all day, it wouldn't turn me away, so much magic to look at ...
Every time I play Fallout or look at images like these, my heart aches. It's weird.
Tina Domingo It's intuition and empathy. Preparing you for the future
It's only a matter of time , it's like knowing all that stuff will be there after we are gone
I'm actually stunned that she's able to throw away stuff she's worked on for so long - I don't think I could ever do that. I refused to throw away my disneyland admission bracelet for GradNite because I wanted to remeber that night... And that was only a little piece of plastic!
It is such a creative place. Gorgeous work!
I have to see this next time I am in Connecticut. They are amazing.
These r amazing! Love all the tiny things, I love miniature stuff!
why throw them away I'm sure someone would want to buy the pieces tbh
WOW. I would honestly look forever. How amazing.
I wouldn't be able to throw all that hard work and time away by actually throwing the project away
Amazing! It's so unique and detailed!
Oh NOOO! My heart broke when I saw the ending... That is just not the way to do it.
This is oddly beautiful and I adore it.
