Abstract

Artist and scholar Leah Modigliani presents and writes about her series of photographs Cities of God. These collages show fragments of cities destroyed by natural disasters, digitally rebuilt on the surface of micrometeors. Named after Saint Augustine's theological reckoning with the fall of Rome in the 5<superscript>th</superscript> century, the artwork responds to the irreconcilable differences between an individual's place in the world and the scale of global climate disaster.
