the ghost of the mississippi flood (still)
2010
single channel video
7 min
Comprised of unpeopled footage from the lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans shot in the summer of 2009 along with archival footage of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, this video is a quiet reflection on loss, absence, and community. The narratives of the events are colluded through the offset of voice and image - neither the words New Orleans nor the word Katrina are used, allowing the echoes of history to play themselves out.
