The Polaroid Project is a creative exploration of the relationship between Polaroid’s many technological innovations and the art that was created with their help. With over 300 illustrations, this volume showcases not only the myriad and often idiosynchratic approaches taken by such photographers as Ansel Adams, Robert Maplethorpe, Ellen Carey, and Chuck Close, but also a fascinating selection of technical objects and artifacts that speak to the sheer ingenuity that lay behind the art. The Polaroid Project provides a unique perspective on the Polaroid phenomenon - a technology, an art form, a convergence of both - and its enduring cultural legacy.
