Lacuna

Synopsis

Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, was drained by settlers in the 19th century and transformed into one of the most valuable agricultural lands in the world. This visual essay explores the emptiness of the former lake and the ongoing water crisis. Today, farm machinery, animals and people search for water in the resulting dry valley.
