#effluvia

"Effluvia sounds better! I'm sorry that you don't have poetry in your heart!"

Effluvia from a hand resting on a photographic plate... A magnetiser and well-known healer, Majewski made several series of experiments in 1898 and 1899 to record the magnetic fluid – contemporary accounts mention its rare powers – on a sensitized plate. The photographs were mostly obtained by the process called humid, in which the sensitised plate was immersed in a hydro-quinone bath the side covered with gelatin facing downward. The hand was resting on the glass side of the plate or was held a few centimeters away. The pose generally lasted 20 mins.

“Perhaps Chadwick's most infamous work, consisting of twelve bronze castings of urine-melted snow, produced during a three-week residency in Canada.”
