I came across these testimonies circulating on social media in 2020. I then asked Canoubis — who had recorded and shared them — if I could pair them with visual archives.

KK {Kakarèl Kolonyal} is an immersive installation that explores the abusive and criminal psychic impacts caused by audiovisual pollution and manipulation — targeting our souls, bodies, and lands through advertising that fosters and sustains consumerist addiction, further intensified by confinement. Kakarèl means both diarrhea and fear — two meanings that aptly evoke the dripping, paralyzing spread oƒ the colonial continuum / contamination. So, how can we (re)think within a space-time polluted and saturated by the ongoing diffusion~infusion oƒ colonial imagery?
