St. Louise

Thad Povey

Made to accompany the band Soul Coughing on stage. Includes such techniques as architectural appliques and rub-ons, bleach-and-resist treatment of previously photographed images, scratched and cut-out black leader, and emulsion that was heated and burned with magnified sunlight some images were rephotographed onto print stock, reversing (or ‘inverting’) the polarity of the original film.

Thad Povey

An Alchemical Christmas Carol

Thad Povey

Less than a vision of a sugarplum, but more than the Grinch on acid, this film mixes up a toxic nog of sweet sentiment, heavenly damnation, and recycled gift wrap.
