Future Talk Now: The Great Republic of New Orleans, a video work by artist Marjetica Potrč, focused on the changing landscape of post-Katrina New Orleans, Potrč’s video is part documentary, part narrative which examines the city’s and its people’s relationship to water. Potrč's case studies explore the ways in which infrastructure is created from the bottom up by individuals either in response to political or ecological changes or simply to improve their lives. The societies she examines, including New Orleans, have undergone political or climatic changes that have made Modernism’s social contracts untenable. Press Release
