Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005] Possibly 2005 - 2010

Richard Misrach’s photograph, "Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005]," captures the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The image, likely taken between 2005 and 2010, depicts a white van with the words “State Farm” scrawled on its side, parked amidst debris in a residential neighborhood. This work exemplifies Misrach’s focus on documenting the impact of human activity on the landscape. The stark contrast between the van and the desolate scene creates a powerful visual commentary on the devastation and loss experienced by residents in the wake of the storm.
