You see them everywhere along the freeways in the interior of Florida: billboards announcing the construction of idyllic housing projects. Alas, the beautiful pictures on them have little to do with the reality of the abandoned, unfinished instant communities. The dreams were smashed to smither-eens during the housing crisis of 2007. Kariko’s aerial photographs of the construction projects ex-pose the destruction and desperation: we see the negative effects that the projects have had on the surrounding agricultural land, and the curious absence of construction equipment among the unfin-ished homes. Back on earth, inside the bounds of the planned communities, the visitor could imag-ine himself in a post-apocalyptic landscape, where nature is slowly repossessing what was previ-ously stolen from her.
