Ida (Simon Coates, 3 mins 31)
Filmed on location in the swamps near Jean Lafitte in Louisiana, USA, Ida takes its name from the hurricane that decimated large areas of the US state in 2021. Flooding affected the surrounding areas and the bayous around Jean Lafitte increased in size as a result. The work was created to reflect the resilience of the Louisiana people in the face of disaster. Simon Coates is an artist, writer and curator based in London, UK. Coates’ practise is predicated on societal mores and behaviours as communicating modes, and he uses digital media, live and recorded production, and curated events as tools for exploration.
