Tales: A Cautionary Story About Heroin Addiction

In this film, Theresa DeSalvio reimagines Pinocchio as the boy who does not look at consequences, experiments with drugs, and becomes addicted to heroin.  Through DeSalvio's painted images and narration, the film chronicles the devasting effects that heroin addiction has on Pinocchio's life.  The film's images and narrative are interwoven with statistical commentary on the many areas that addiction touches upon.
Drug education is the first step toward prevention.

Bill Brand's Masstransiscope

 In 1980 Theresa DeSalvio was commissioned by filmmaker Bill Brand to paint all of the images for Masstransiscope, a 300-foot painting consisting of 228 panels which give the illusion of an animated movie to passengers on the Q and B trains going from DeKalb Avenue Brooklyn into Manhattan.  This piece received media attention including an award from the Municipal Arts Society, NYC; documented in the New York Times, Village Voice, SoHo News, Smithsonian Magazine and on National Network News and National Public Radio.  This piece has undergone numerous restorations over the years and is currently running.
