Okay so now a day later and I am totally under the spell of Monsieur Cordier's Chemigrams, and then I find this!

(I'm still learning about embedding video from untraditional sources - apologies - but that whole site from Pierre Radisic looks awfully cool . . . )
and then here's Pierre Cordier's crazy Chemigram Cinema! From 1962, with Marc Lobet, dig that synth sound too!
it's really worth a visit to his site too

what a great guy! and his artwork is amazing!!
Honestly I'm still trying to get a handle on exactly what a "Chemigram" is - I get that it's not using light at all, and that he uses crazy household stuff as the "localizing agent," but then it starts getting fuzzy. Maybe I'll understand better if I watch all three parts of the gallery talk they did around the time of the V&A Shadowcatchers exhibit last year.
