Polaroids | SX-70

My first ever instant photograph was a polaroid taken from a black-and-white television. Pictured was Geraldine Chaplin, crying. Since then I’ve worked with polaroids, mainly SX-70, sometimes as single images, sometimes combined in tryptichs. Some are shown solely as the originals while others are presented as blow-up photographic prints.
