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. e "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." ________________________________ From: Janet Cull <janetgcull@xxxxxxxxx> To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 7:51 PM Subject: [pure-silver] Re: PHOTOGENIC ALCHEMY Looks super-interesting.
