39. HOME SWEET HOME BY THE BREAUX FRERES, 1933 REMIX: RAMA HOFFPAUIR, HOME SWEET HOME, 2007 Hoffpauir explains her approach: “I grew up in South Louisiana about 20 miles up river from New Orleans. After Katrina many people wondered why anyone would want to live in a place so vulnerable and if the city should even be rebuilt. Many people in New Orleans long before the storm, had bumper stickers on their cars saying ‘New Orleans Proud To Call It Home’. South Louisiana is a place that anyone who ever leaves will likely forever consider home. Breaux Freres’ version of this song pretty well sums it up in a nostalgic Cajun whiney voice that makes me so homesick for a washed away place. Now l live near the beginning of the Mississippi River, instead of the end.” Rama Hoffpauir’s work has been exhibited at Longwood Arts Project, New York; Ooga Booga, Los Angeles; New Langton Arts, San Francisco; Soap Factory, Minneapolis; Here Art Gallery, New York. She recently designed and decorated The International Flipbook Festival, an exhibition presenting over one hundred flipbooks made by contemporary artists. |
