These are digital composites of video stills I photographed which were on my computer screen as I was watching the video-art piece I made entitled The Legacy of Christopher Columbus: A Short Account in Technicolor.
The work pertains to my indigenous Cuban lineage. It is based on eye-witness accounts of the genocide, published by 16th century Spanish Dominican priest, Bartolomé De Las Casas who accompanied Christopher Columbus and Diego Velazquez in the conquest of the New World.
