Midwest Tropics

Feb 11, 2011

Twenty-seven-year-old multimedia artist Ben Schneider has hired actors to stage a fake lecture about a lost civilization of Antarctica and pulled off a guerrilla exhibition of his work in a French chapel.

Even in Mighty’s quieter moments, something gloriously untamed lurks just under the surface.

But breaking it down to individual elements only tells part of the story.
