When The Levees Broke We Bought Our House
For Prospect.1, Superflex present a new work titled WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE, WE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE. Using a real-life incident involving friends of theirs, the subtext of the work is the impact that the post-Katrina flooding in New Orleans had on the world economy. Anticipating a slow down in the housing market as a result of the catastrophe, Danish banks briefly dropped their interest rates for new mortgages, enabling the friends of Superflex to purchase a house in Denmark at a lower cost.
