“Reddishblue Memories,” by Iván Argote, utilizes the artist’s affective memories as part of an ongoing research and speculation project based on a rumor associated with the history of George Eastman’s Kodak company and its switch from Kodachrome to Ektachrome. This change was allegedly made for ideological reasons: in the late 1960s, they realized that Kodachrome pictures turned reddish with time. In the context of the Cold War, they decided that the United States’ archives could not end up with the enemy’s color. As a result, they developed the Ektachrome process, in which pictures eventually turn blue.
