The film complicates any simple reading of a colonial photographic archive from Southern Nigeria and Sierra Leone that was collected between 1909 and 1915. Through a collaborative creative effort with contemporary multimedia artists The Light Surgeons, voices are added to mute photographs to produce multiple readings.

This film is part of the collected DVD entitled "Decolonising". Please click on the "Decolonising shorts" button above for the complete list of films included in the collection.
