Robert Polidori traveled to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, which struck in 2005 in the North Atlantic, and which killed nearly 2,000 people and caused enormous material damage. He found the streets deserted and, without electricity, strangely dark. The next day, he began to photograph, house by house: “In every place I went, the doors were simply opened by the police, the National Guard, and the firefighters looking for possible survivors … The occupants who could return after the waters receded could see that there was nothing worth saving.” Robert Polidori found something worth saving; he created memories for those who could not return, by photographing these ruins of paradoxical beauty. The abandoned houses he photographed bear witness to the lives of the missing and the deceased through what remains of their belongings and their houses. (From the publisher’s site).
