On April 20, 2010, 5 years after Hurricane Katrina, the largest marine oil spill occurred off the coast of Louisiana landing a second crushing blow to the communities still rebuilding from the largest hurricane to make landfall in the US. Owned and operated by the oil company BP, the Deepwater Horizon rig spilled oil into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days. These images were captured on days 35, 36, 37, and 38 of those 87 days. These photographs, that glimpse the complex interconnectedness of Lousiana’s culture, industry, and environment inspired the installation work entitled Tropical Depression, how long is now and when does here end?
