Three large-scale dioramas, inspired by traditional natural history museum displays, depict three terrains ― the tropics, the desert, and the North Atlantic. Traces of man-made interventions are evident in each landscape. In lieu of wildlife, however, the Dioramas take literature as their central subject.

Newspapers, telephone, mini television, radio alarm clock, lighting system emitting light that changes from blue to red and then to orange 

This is an early iconic work from the artist‘s series of Chambres (rooms) that, with economic simplicity, construct environments meant to evoke periods (developmental, cultural, historical), atmospheres or emotions through color, functional or ornamental objects, and sometimes imagery. The Chambres act like conflations of mnemonic traces, creating spaces full of a vague concreteness, of half-remembered occurrences and objects, which also characterizes the dynamics of dreams.
