A selection of works that explore the meanings and potential of instant photography as an ever-evolving art form. Photos which reveal the beauty of instant film’s unique limitations, then question, disrupt and deconstruct these limitations. A look at what can be achieved when you step outside the original white frame, to capture more than just a moment in time.
Our latest exhibition proves that a photo doesn’t have to be a final, finished object - it can be a starting point for painting, drawing, collage or sheer, joyous destruction. Photos have been submerged or burned, scratched, scribbled or stitched on, cut up and put back together. Each one gives the viewer a new way to frame the world, revealing hidden truths in unexpected ways.
