ORLEANTIS
This is a video montage exploring the proximities and conflicts between fact + fiction, awe + destruction, present + future, and our complex, turbulent relationship with storms and water, the giver and taker of life.
It asks the questions:
_Can we admire and fear storms at the same time?
_Is there such thing as a natural disaster?
_How will we live when we are all engulfed by the sea?
Using New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina as spatial and temporal contexts, this compilation delves into mythological water worlds, scientific theories and studies, and poetic reflections.
Maybe we belong in the ocean, back where we came from...

All textual, audio and visual extracts are from others' pieces of work: fictional, scientific and speculative. You decide.
