The damage to the 9th ward of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina-related flooding represented as a measure of time in this video portrait.
An intimate portrait of one street in the 9th ward of New Orleans. Shot in June of 2007, almost 2 years after the levees broke, this 8-minute piece documents the damage to this neighborhood by examining one 66-street block stretch.
I took one photograph of each house or lot on Miro St. The area photographed represents 1.7 percent of the 9th ward. Each photograph gets one second of screen time. If I had photographed the entire 9th ward and produced a video with the same measurement, the resulting video would be about 7 hours and 30 minutes long.
I made this video out of my frustration at the non-information being presented by national news media about the damage to the city. Its as if the shame of this damage is preventing it being shown on television. A representative sample of what is, I hope this video gives the viewer an intuitive sense of the scale of damage to one section of New Orleans.The damage to the 9th ward of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina-related flooding... more
