Description: Dunitz's hazardous technique consists of wiring an artist's paintbrush to a power supply and "painting" various metals with water and direct current; the electricity flows through the brush and creates a clear oxide layer where the bristles touch the metal, and then the phenomenon of light wave interference causes colors to emerge momentarily from the metal. Dunitz quickly photographs the colorful results.
