"Vivarium is a project that I started in 2018, and each work takes around four months to complete," says photographer Dirk Hardy to the Phoblographer. The photographs are all self-contained dioramas that he built himself.

After seeing the project at Photoville 2024, we were captivated. "Each Episode from Vivarium is about a topic that I’m occupied with at that moment. This makes each Episode highly personal since I decide on the subjects whether they come from a societal issue, observation, or experience. " For example, Episode 7 is called Intermission -- and focuses on the break he took during the pandemic. And each time he does this, he takes on the identity of the fictional characters in his frames -- sort of like how an actor does. . thephoblographer.com
