If you can push through all the pain and see what your painkiller looks like, you might be mind-bogglingly surprised. Because, if you go by photographer Peter Juzak’s works, each of your painkillers is a work of art. They are like what Jackson Pollock would paint on a lovely sunny Sunday.
Juzak has been photographing various tablets for the past four years. He grinds the tablets, melts them on a heated slide and lets it unravel the mysteries hidden underneath. He waits a couple of days or weeks before photographing these colourful concoctions. He then magnifies it to 120 times to reveal beautiful shapes, colours and combinations.
According to thenextweb.com, The pictures look like a mix of broken glass, abstract geographic maps and the classic Windows Media Player audio visualizations. According to Juzak, the images stimulate his imagination and open his mind — and it’s hard to disagree with him.
About his passion for photographing medicinal tablets, he says on his website: “They are substances that seem to us little mysterious, yet contain a world full of miracles, for all these substances form microcrystals.” He says, when they are made visible, “they invite you to a journey of discovery of a special kind: a journey through landscapes full of bright colours and fantastic shapes. Modern works of abstract painting are the same, the resulting images stimulate the viewer to his own associations. These are as diverse as the random shapes that characterise the world of microcrystals.”
He says, a photographer can never be sure of what he or she might see in this universe of colors and forms. “If he succeeds in making visible the hidden, the art in nature is revealed, the view into the invisible becomes an adventure, the everyday becomes the miraculous.”
