He didn't seem to get into specifics on how Ambien or absinthe etc are actually 
employed in the development or what type of film he used but it is a seed of 
thought for sure.  One has to be ready to spend a lot of time experimenting.

"It came to a point where I wanted to explore the medium of film itself.  I 
embarked on a journey that has led me here. Where is here?  Here is a place 
full of what ifs.  What if I electrified my film and then froze it afterward?  
What if I introduced absinthe to the emulsion?  What if I was to soak the film 
in Ambien before I shot it?Photogenic Alchemy is an exercise in controlled 
chaos and a study in the science of art. By breaking down silver salts and 
celluloid to it’s elemental form, I’ve created a dark and gritty apocalyptic 
world.  It is a world that seems to be dissolving right before our eyes.  Toxic 
and fascinating, each new roll of film left me intrigued.  I couldn’t wait to 
try the next substance on my ever increasing list."
