The After Nature exhibition evokes a nightmare/fantasy of humankind's impending self-destruction and its aftermath. Sculptor Maurizio Cattelan imagines a horse's deadly collision with the museum wall, while painter Dana Schutz depicts a man reduced to eating himself. Photographer William Christenberry shows a post-apocalyptic American South overgrown with kudzu vines, and Werner Herzog contributes his perspective on environmental destruction with Lessons of Darkness (1992), a smoky chronicle of the Gulf War's effects. In fact, After Nature is shaping up to be a summer blockbuster of sorts — the nihilistic comedy epic spans three of the museum's five floors.
