Black Tide / Marea negra - is Allen Sekula's latest show documenting last November's oil spill off the northwestern coast of Spain. Included in the show is the text sketch Fragments from an Opera, wherein Sekula supplements these quietly contemplative photos with an imagined restaging of the event as an opera in the year 2032 - a rather morose evaluation of history's transformation of disaster. The site also includes this video interview [QT 5.9mb] with Mr Sekula, where the artist comments on realism, metaphor, and communicating through polemics that are "aggressively ignored" .
