Richard Misrach’s Destroy This Memory is an affecting reminder of the physical and psychological impact of Hurricane Katrina. Rather than simply surveying the damage, Misrach-who has photographed the region regularly since the 1970s, most notably for his ongoing Cancer Alley project-found himself drawn to the hurricane-inspired graffiti: messages scrawled in spray paint, crayons, chalk, or whatever materials happened to be on hand. Created between October and December 2005, this haunting series of images serves as a potent document of the raw experiences of those left to fend for themselves in the aftermath of Katrina.
