Broken Polaroid Series - What Worries You?
2023 - Ongoing
With my broken Polaroid camera used as a camera obscura, I capture portraits directly on the photo paper. In a dark room, a person sits in front of the camera and has to light up the lamp for about a minute as the light sensitivity of the photo paper is not high, and therefore they have to sit still for at least one minute. The duration of the exposure morphs into a shared moment of sincerity between the artist and the subject.
Before we start shooting I explain the concept and afterward, the person is asked to write down on the print the answer to the question - What worries you? – the result is a gallery of visual diaries, a compelling fusion of photography and personal narrative.
