Explore the transformative potential of Polaroid photography with emulsion lifts - a tactile technique where a film image softens, separates from its original backing, and takes on a new form. Through live demonstration and examples—including Willow Belle's and other contemporary artist's work—see how this process transforms instant photographs into layered, ethereal art objects.
Examine the chemistry behind Polaroid film and its historical significance, providing context for the technical and conceptual possibilities of instant photography. Slow down, embrace the unpredictable, and reimagine Polaroid as a delicate, translucent skin, allowing water, touch, and time to reshape the image. Attendees leave equipped with the knowledge and confidence to explore these experimental processes and ideas for incorporating Polaroid manipulation into their own creative practice.
