Tainted Frictions: A Visual Essay
by Paolo Favero
“Tainted Frictions” is a nonlinear visual essay that generates a creative set of tensions between photographs and texts to examine color in postcolonial India and Cuba. Bringing words (in the form of a variety of quotes, snippets, and longer reflections) into an interrupted and unstable set of dialogues and frictions with images (photographs by the author of this essay), this work can be looked at as a simple and manual form of interactive documentary.
