Description
Miles Aldridge's Please Please Return Polaroid is a love letter to the iconic Polaroid camera, a process once integral to many photographers' craft. This sequel to his 2016 book presents new and vintage Polaroids from his extensive archive in a seemingly random sequence, shaped by a dreamlike logic and surprising juxtapositions. Aldridge's dedication to analogue processes is evident in every image, where cut-and-paste is still a manual process, made with scissors, gaffer tape, intuition and patience. The result is a unique blend of imperfection and creativity, as he transforms some images into extreme enlargements filling double pages with their re-worked and damaged surfaces. Through his work, Aldridge reveals a vision of colour-coordinated, graphically pure reality, one that is both hard-edged and beautiful in its own way.
