A Unique Slant of Light: The Bicentennial History of Art in Louisiana - (Page 357)

JONATHAN TRAVIESA b. 1976, San Francisco, California Panacea, 2006 Pigment print; 15 x 15 in. Collection of Jonathan Traviesa With his frequent inclusion of front porches, side yards, and alleyways in his portraits of New Orleans residents, Jonathan Traviesa has built a sprawling picture of the city’s residents and their environment. Traviesa has made New Orleans his home and subject since the late 1990s, capturing the city with his sensitive, personal, and often whimsical style. Traviesa photographed the devastation of Hurricane Katrina while floating in an inner tube through flooded streets. As the city repopulated, his photographs were subsequently reproduced as signs on the city’s street medians, providing an eerie before-and-after comparison. Since Katrina, Traviesa has focused on the influx of new residents to the city, documenting yet another demographic shift in the dynamic history of New Orleans.
