James Casebere — Flooded Hallway
James Casebere

Flooded Hallway

1998

James Casebere's *Flooded Hallway* is a large-scale chromogenic print mounted to Plexiglas in three parts, depicting a meticulously constructed architectural model of a corridor submerged in still, reflective water. The artist builds and photographs elaborate tabletop sets, transforming mundane institutional spaces into hauntingly surreal environments charged with psychological tension. The glassy flood waters and stark, symmetrical hallway evoke themes of displacement, vulnerability, and the uncanny beauty found in imagined catastrophe.
