Abstract

Twelve Polaroid prints, fading as a result of age and the experimental nature of their chemical structure. When the 'Impossible Project' revived the Polaroid instant photograph in 2008, they had to re-invent the technology, and these early prints are wonderfully distressed. Photographs in a grid are glyphs that describe a secret language.
