The images which appear in this essay are images of information. Whether they are found, created, or found and created simultaneously, they are images which seek to communicate a 'truth'. The ethnographer puts found informational images back into circulation, placing them alongside new informational images that the ethnographer has created. The notable thing about these is their circulation on the surface of the issue - they are a re-presentation of an idea of what is happening. The scales of attention are shifting, they zoom in and out. The aesthetic, however, is always on the surface of things.

The image was made by the author and is based on NGO-generated data of toxic hotspots in Delhi overlaid with data from a scientific paper, with added political borders. This composition draws attention to toxic clusters near these political borders, illustrating the point that pollution is a social justice issue. The origin of the banner on the left is unclear to me.
