The photograph of the Foothill Plant provides ethnographic insight about how archival images can foster reflection about how toxicity becomes emplaced at different sites, as well as how it not only initially transforms that place but how it evolves through structural change - social, discursive, material, representational, economic, etc. Toxicity is ironically revealed to me as an 'enlivening' process evidencing the reproduction of certain mobilizations of power and their concomitant arrangements of society. Archival imagery provides productive evidence of this process.
