Paolo Roversi 'Polaroids' 2nd July - 14th August

Hamilton Gallery,
Mayfair,
London

“Over the course of a few years The Polaroid Company extended its range of instant films 8 x 10” with a new transparent film called 891.
 
This particular transparency gave me the opportunity to add other textures to the original support creating new effects of almost three-dimensional images. Perhaps inspired by the beautiful Byzantine Mosaics that enriched my childhood in Ravenna, I started to work with the thinnest gold and silver leaves, which bring to the images a certain fragility and unexpected reflections creating a sort of magic mirror."
