This series explores the ideological implications of colour through my manual intervention in a selection of black-and-white photographs documenting performances from the history of conceptual art. By colouring these images, I question the supposed neutrality and objectivity traditionally attributed to black-and-white photographic documentation, while foregrounding the subjective, manual and gendered forms of labour that have remained largely invisible in its production and circulation.
