This sculptural multimedia work, Drowned World, examines the impacts of ecological change on civilization.
In it, a monitor plays a video depicting footage of reptiles, insects, and plants in a watery landscape. The monitor is installed behind a stained-glass window. The use of the architectural fragment gives the impression that the world outside of the window has been flooded. The title is borrowed from a 1962 novel by J.G. Ballard in which global warming has caused the world to become almost uninhabitable. In the book, New York is tropical and only the North Pole is inhabitable. Like Ballard in 1962, Levy projects into an uncertain future.
