About the Exhibition

Discover the beauty and fragility of Louisiana’s endangered wetlands through the lens of acclaimed artist and documentary photographer Ben Depp. In this newly acquired series of 11 large-format prints, Depp takes viewers on a soaring journey above the marshes and bayous, offering rare glimpses of the vibrant, imperiled ecosystems that lie just beyond Louisiana’s protective levees. Depp uses a paraglider to take his photographs, and his images capture the drama of both the landscape and the artist’s method, while sharing the urgency of this ongoing environmental dilemma. Presented in conjunction with HNOC’s permanent exhibition A Vanishing Bounty: Louisiana's Coastal Environment and Culture, Edge of Tomorrow will deepen your understanding of the vital importance of preserving Louisiana’s coast.
