Jacob Cartwright & Nick Jordan GB New Madrid . 2008

New Madrid draws upon the description of a cataclysmic earthquake by artist/ornithogist/frontiersman John James Audubon, published in his Ornithological Biography (1831-39). The video was filmed on the Kentucky/Tennessee border, at Reelfoot – an area of swampland formed by the earthquakes of 1811-12. Centred on the town of New Madrid, the earthquake remains the largest ever recorded on the US continent. The resulting cypress sloughs and lakes are now host to a range of rare and endangered species, providing a vital refuge for wildlife migrating through or inhabiting the Mississippi floodplain. The video forms part of a series of short films centred around a range of species, events & locations described by Audubon, which accompanied his major work The Birds of America.
