Sourish Mukherjee
Original Polaroid i-Type colour instant photograph
Private sale · Price on requestPrice on request
A woman stands behind glass while mountain, trees, room and reflection occupy the same instant-film surface. Slight blur, chemical texture and unpredictability are not defects in the idea; they are part of the object.
Why ZINE preserved it
Created around 9:45 AM during the Early Morning series, the window becomes a second photographic layer. A digital image can reproduce the composition, but not this sheet of instant film developing at this particular moment.
