On the 29th of August 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most violent storm in the history of the United States, ravages the city of New Orleans. The city's entire population is displaced and the Crescent City is to be rebuilt completely. The disaster provides an opportunity for the city's renaissance on a fairer basis. But against all expectations, the storm quickly becomes an opportunity to run a neoliberal by intensifying drastically the economic, social and racial inequalities that existed before the storm. Beyond New Orleans itself, plans for reconstruction uncover the divisions of a whole country where the gaps grow wider and wider despite the Obama presidency.

Shipwrecked America

Ultimate refuge for the leftovers of the american dream, the motels in the United States houses a population of drifting humans who, from crisis to crisis – economic and personal – have been dispossessed of everything.  Some of them lost it all. Some of them left it all. Some still have dreams. Some of them don’t remember well, sucked by daily survival. Everyone struggles with fragments of life that remain in this precarious nest.
 Portrait of a disenchanted America.
 Diving in its abyss.

Vacancy

Unexpected shelter made of prefabs in the heart of a burning city, the supervised drug consumption facility is open every day of the year. Cause some things know neither relief, nor rest, nor death.  A place like no other where to come back, again and again, because here, they would make you feel, at last, you’re someone.
