DEEP WATER HORIZON
“Truth may be stretched,
but cannot be broken,
and always gets above falsehood,
as does oil above water.”
Miguel De Cervantes, 1581
The cloud formations recall drifting oil films, seeping oil leaks in deep waters. The catastrophe caused by the eponymous oil rig’s collapse in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was built up into a global disaster by the media. The news mercilessly exposes the contrast between unmanageable ecologic damage and weeks of helplessness caused by the failure of human technology to contain the disaster.
