New Video: Elizabeth Underwood, Artist PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 11 May 2006
Photographer and installation artist Elizabeth Underwood lost everything to hurricane Katrina except her body. Taken were her home, her job, and her life's work.

In today's 2-minute video, Underwood looks like a schoolgirl with Post Katrina Stress Disorder: A stack of subversive texts tilted on her hip, the distracted look in her eyes of someone who only hours earlier got to see the pulp that used to be her property.

We were lucky to have Elizabeth Underwood in New Orleans for the last decade. We will be lucky to get her back again, soon. Her web site, which is loaded with Underwood's unsettling photography ("an exploration of the trauma survivor"), indicates Underwood will return to the Crescent City in the winter of 2006 "as part of a fine-arts fellowship to explore the psychological and aesthetic effects of the region's devastation."

You can start with your own video, Ms. Underwood. So should you, dear reader.
