“Brandt, who is based in Los Angeles, created a composition of 900 individual Polaroids. When you look at the piece in person, it appears as no more than a collection of colors, vaguely resembling a pixelated photograph. When you take a picture of the piece with your smart phone, however, it morphs into an image of Polaroid founder Edwin Land holding a Polaroid camera. This trick of the eye encapsulates how Polaroid is perceived in today’s world. “It is at once analog and digital,” Wride says. “It fabricates something out of nothing.” This piece, which was created over a span of three weeks, truly captures the evolution of the art form from an innovative and instantaneous gift to a valued and expressive medium for contemporary artists.”
