Green. It's definitely green. And it's definitely alive. So what is it? Some alien landscape photographed by NASA after Photoshop processing? Unlikely. Hulk's blood? Not quite so, but also close. The answer is actually down-to-earth and more down-to-earth than it sounds.
In fact, this lovely green goo is green blood. Not the Hulk, of course, but trees and flowers - any plant on our planet. This is chlorophyll. Isolated from photosynthetic plant cells - chloroplasts, it greasyly smeared the glass of the microscope and was mercilessly photographed by an inquisitive girl named Tara cronin (Tara Cronin) and delivered directly to our visual receptors. This and other photographs are part of her project. Blood of Tree, Blood of Me and specifically a photo session.
The blood sample in the second photo is easier to guess. This is blood. Normal human blood. But the snapshot is intimate in that it is the blood of Tara Cronin herself. She kindly keeps samples of her blood in a test tube in her freezer and periodically pulls them out "at will" in order to shoot a couple of shots for the ancestors.
Your student project for International Center for Photography (International Center for Photography) and his idea Tara describes with pleasure and shares plans for the future. "The images are the result of scanning two clean negatives glued together with adhesive tape, between which there is blood, and does not leak out. I took chlorophyll in the laboratory. More precisely, I was given chlorophyll powder, from which, when water is added, liquid chlorophyll is obtained. one of the medications I take is Clonazepam. I am also experimenting with other ways of detecting similar images. In my plans, photographs of the liquid metal of galinstan, liquid because it melts at about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Pictures of galinstan for me will be something like pictures of the circulatory system of my blood vessels - it also circulates through them, as my red blood cells through my body."
