"The greatest confluence of all is that which makes up human memory … Here time, also, is subject to confluence. The memory is a living thing - it too is in transit. But during its moment, all that is remembered joins, and lives - the old and the young, the past and the present, the living and the dead." — Eudora Welty Conflux Coldwell is a music project and a confluence of many different streams. Sounds and pictures by me and various other people. All reblogs are labeled as such. My original work can be isolated using the menu on the right. Happy Tumbling… Michael “Conflux” Coldwell

Hidden ghosts found in the photography archive.

»Again He Holds Me by the Hand« reflects on queer history, unveiling same-sex intimacy and homoerotic imagery hidden in documents sourced from the Library of Congress and the Florida State Archives.  The process of de-codification of the historical records is promoted through different strategies of making, all addressed to highlight, to the viewer’s gaze, the intimate gestures discovered.
