The choice is yours is a sculptural work that employs the physical format of a traditional museum diorama. However, instead of displaying visions of the cultural or natural past, the installation depicts two different versions of an imagined urban future, influenced by the dystopic and apocalyptic fantasies and predictions in science fiction narratives, disaster movies and climate change forecasts.

In the popular imagination, the city of Los Angeles is a focal point for urban destruction. L.A., through decades of disaster films has endured repeated devastation more than any other city on earth. L.A.’s ‘Miracle Mile’ was once a distinctive boulevard, credited with creating a new model for rapid urban and suburban expansion worldwide, but now only remnants of this history remain visible. As a district that has experienced extreme change, both real and fictional, The choice is yours adds another layer in the complex network of narratives based on this site.
