Polanude - Andreas H. Bitesnich

In our modern digital age, the polaroid is already becoming a relic of the past. However, the fleeting moment and the uniqueness of it, lend the polaroid a quality beyond its mere merit as a “good” or “bad” photograph. Like a painting, a polaroid becomes an irreplaceable treasure and object of desire, as only one person may own the original. Perfectly lit and composed, these polaroids are Bitesnich’s images in miniature, the painterly sketches for later works of art. Though as with most artists, the sketches ultimately become artworks in themselves.
