This photographic journey seeks to distill and uncover those elements that help to define the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans, the French Quarter. Due to its elevation above sea level - 3 Feet - the French Quarter received minimal damage, by comparison, to the rest of New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina. Utilizing a pin-hole camera and thus necessitating long exposures times, these images reflect an averaging of time so that the true essence of this neighborhood is revealed. The resulting images have a dreamlike effect that further engages the viewer to look deeper into these surrealistic vistas. From architecture to trolley cars to its proximity to the Mighty Mississippi River, experience The French Quarter’s uniqueness that only a film-based, wide angle, pin-hole camera can offer. Through the utilization of overlapping exposures, this photographic study affords the viewer a dynamic perspective on this culturally rich neighborhood.

Occupying the foyer of the Visual Arts Building at Kennesaw State University, video portraits of working-class individuals will be projected over vinyl cutouts that detail aspects of the urban environment in which they live. Blending graffiti, photography, film and installation, this timely, fictional, post-apocalyptic visual narrative will be visible to anyone walking in or near the building, collapsing the distinction between inside and outside, art and architecture, and gallery and public space.

Organized by the KSU Art Museum this project is supported by an NEA Art Works grant.

All KSU Art Museum events are free and open to the public. Closed on University and public holidays. Building hours may vary between regular academic semesters.
