At world's end: Artists reveal stunning post-apocalyptic images of the major cities around the globe
- From New York City to Beijing, a team of artists are shedding light on what the world would be like at the end of humanity. In Silent World, artists Lucie and Simon have taken the world's most familiar and populous cities and removed all but one or two people to create the illusion of a lonely world.In the thought-provoking work, places like the normally bustling Times Square and Tiananmen Square appear absent of their crowds.
