The multi-award-winning photographer Hannah Modigh has been recognized for her harrowing and penetrating depictions of people living in vulnerable situations. In her latest project, "Hurricane Season," she finds herself in the southern part of Louisiana, USA. In this unique and flat landscape, several million of the poorest American citizens reside. It is as if nature itself dictates the level of segregation – the lower the land, the greater the proportion of vulnerable and impoverished.

Hurricanes, which often cost human lives, repeatedly strike these areas, frequently resulting in severe flooding. Through Modigh's poetic imagery, the viewer gains a sense of how the inhabitants have adapted to their extreme environment. Even during the calmer periods, the threat remains, like a surface tension ready to burst.

Hannah Modigh has received numerous accolades for her previous projects, "Hillbilly Heroin," "Honey," and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down." In the summer of 2016, Hannah Modigh will have a solo exhibition featuring the images from "Hurricane Season" at Fotografiska in Stockholm.
