Multimedia artist Von Cotu has developed a Pyro Chemographic technique wherein he uses fire and chemicals to paint on large format photographic film and other media. The resulting and hi res images suggest alien galaxies viewed through the Hubble Space Telescope, sub-oceanic scenes or microscopic details of an inner world previously unknown to us.
"Pyro Chemography reveals a hidden truth that surrounds us on a daily basis, exposing patterns and textures that recur in everything when observed closely. My images represent the gigantic and minuscule aspects of the Universe we live in, and I feel privileged to merely show what is already there. I invite you to open your mind and be prepared to experience some very unusual and unique images."
