An unsettlingly striking series of large-scale photographs, shot with infrared film— that present acidic, vivid scenes of the Congo and Congolese fighters in over-saturated, candy colored pinks.

What we read: The Benson Latin American Collection, all the way across campus from the Harry Ransom Center (see: my previous post), has some pretty amazing maps too. The Relaciones Geográficas Collection contains maps and other documents from a 1577 survey of Mexico. Some of the maps are in a European style (map 1); others show a more indigenous conception of the world (map 2). You can see more of them here: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/benson/rg/rg1.html
