Mr&Mrs Hades is a story about a photo-sensitive process told through a photo-sensitive process.

It is a hymn to photosynthesis, the means by which all life sustains itself. The hexagonal green jewel of chlorophyll is a step-down transformer that turns pure white light into sugar, and so we all eat.

This Frequency Opera is exploring the frequency of green and it is exploring the photo-sensitive process of photosynthesis by means of photography. There are several photographic experiments in the images that form the environment for the opera – the application of electricity directly onto film, photographs of light using Goethe’s color theory experiments, and pinhole photographic techniques used with a scanner, among others.
