Gallery: Substances Close Up

Prepare yourself to be amazed! Sarah Schönfeld took photographs of drugs, neurotransmitters and other liquid substances relevant to our mood or behavior. She squeezed drops of various liquid chemical substances onto negative film which have already been exposed, and then subjected the results of the chemical reactions to the normal photographic process.

In 'Vorerst Psychadelic Garden 1' she used ink for drawing. She also cut the photography to install it in the space. 
"The results of this encounter can be interpreted as a grammar of different perspectives playing with and reflecting on the idea of paradise, garden and longing for the „other life“." (www.sarahschoenfeld.de)

In 'All you can feel' she used mostly drug mixtures.
"Since the 1950s, we in the western world have increasingly come to understand our most intimate desires and experiences, as the products of a so-called “chemical self”. We are able to explain moods, angers, and diseases both physiological and psychological through an imbalance of substances in the body." (www.sarahschoenfeld.de)
