Found Polaroids Project

Posted on November 11, 2015 by marikokoda under art projects, Photography, Polaroid

The Canadian visual sociologist Kyler Zeleny is deeply passionate in found Images from family albums, especially old polaroids. Over the course of several years he has been collecting polaroid images from different places. The result is Found Polaroids, a stunning collection of over 6000 images of anonymous people.

Kyler has a “mission” behind this project: to deliver the images back to their owners. On the website invites people to contact him If someone recognizes himself or someone that they know.

There is another interesting parallel project too, where everyone can participate. You can create and submit a story connected to one of the polaroids on the website. On this way these “lost” memories will find a new life and a new story to replace the unknown one.

#creativeunblock – February

Posted on March 19, 2015 by marikokoda under Art, art projects, Photography, Polaroid, Polaroid SX70, still life

February project!

Just a while ago I spoke about a few features of the past weeks (yay!), included the one on The Jealous Curator for the monthly challenge Creative Unblock.

The idea for this new project was simple: “Catalog the contents of your medicine cabinet/bathroom shelf : Draw, paint, photograph, or collage everything you have, and then make a poster or small book about the objects”.

I thought to make some simple still life of random object found in the cabinet bathroom using my Polaroid camera. The result? Have a look below and tell me what do you think. If you want to participate to the March Creative Unblock, click here to see the details and have fun!
