[Quinine Machine]

Colonial ghosts do not stop h(a)unting and devouring vegetalities. For centuries they have made the world work for the sake of a single world/ing, while others are ab/used and annihilated. The quinine pharmacy is an example of the strength of their machinery. Fever of conquest contrasted to a feverish state and a trance of perception; feverish images contrasting a world that burns, a quinine machine. Archival malaria, the quinine in constant variation, the plant in constant differentiation, the Bora and Uitoto conjuring, the cosmos reclaiming. Ma-quina.
