The “Plastic processes” are the second category of images made by Farah. They were produced later, and are of a different nature. It seems that Abdallah Farah was caught out at his own game, he stopped being a simple observer reproducing real events, but created new destructions.
He inflicted new impacts to some images, sometimes accidentally, others willfully. His various motives could be described as aesthetic, psychological, speculative, political ones… Images are more complex, more personal sometimes.
