The award-winning photographer Hannah Modigh presents here over 60 of her photographs of Louisiana’s idiosyncratic landscape, home to millions of America’s most deprived citizens. Every year the area is flooded by the summer and autumn storms that strike Louisiana. When these storms develop into major hurricanes the poorest and most low-lying parts suffer the hardest, and the inhabitants have adapted to the frequency of the hurricanes in a fatalistic way. This is perhaps the most penetrating depiction of life in southern Louisiana ever made.
