The Seropositive Files: Visualizing HIV in Mexico
Toscano* establishes a comparison between the chronic character of HIV and a journey through time. This piece, which borrows its name from the original title of H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine, is composed of photograms and interviews with seropositive men, who discuss their experience of living with the infection.
