Shake It - Polaroid exhibition at Pump House Gallery
From the lyrics of OutKast’s pop anthem Hey Ya to clues laid out for the amnesiac protagonist in Christopher Nolan’s film Memento, the Polaroid has had a significant impact on contemporary culture. ‘Shake It: An instant History of the Polaroid’ brings to light some of the more intriguing and innovative examples in the history of the Polaroid photograph, exploring its cultural significance and the diversity of its applications.

The exhibition emphasises that abstraction of reality is always present in photography a... - Exposition

Relatant l'histoire dramatique de paysans dans les Carpates ukrainiennes, ce long métrage est à la fois un précieux témoignage ethnographique et un chef-d'œuvre d'innovation formelle. Rompant radicalement avec les normes esthétiques et thématiques du réalisme socialiste en vigueur, PARAJANOV y développe sa vision poétique à travers une palette d'expérimentations, de l'utilisation de la couleur pour exprimer des sentiments comme le combat contre la destin&e...
