Recreational Drugs Visualized

Right after years spent getting work done in well-known Berlin clubs, professional photographer Sarah Schoenfeld will be the first individual to admit an astute awareness of the one of a kind effects of recreational drugs. Just after watching the hedonistic habits of ravers, she made a decision to take a range of mind-altering substances and put them straight onto developed photo negatives.

Sarah Schönfeld squeezed drops of various legal and illegal liquid drug mixtures onto negative film which had already been exposed. Each drop altered the coating of the film. Much like the effect of some of these substances on humans, this can be a lengthy process – sometimes one that can barely be stopped. 

Cocaine

Caffeine

Crystal Meth

Ecstasy

Adrenaline

Heroin

Ketamine

LSD

Magic

Orphiril

Speed
Valium

Bullets Cut in Half
