Borele’s Medium and Unique Process

Using a Polaroid, Vladimir captures fleeting moments of reality and transforms them through the rare technique of Polaroid emulsion lift. This creative process allows you to lift an image from a Polaroid and in the process, create a new work of art shaped by movement, manipulation, and texture. The consistency of the emulsion allows you to fold, fan, twist, and layer your image in new and creative ways. Vladimir values the tactile experience, using high quality watercolor paper with a rough texture and Polaroid emulsion that disintegrates under his fingers. This process is not very predictable, which makes it similar to ordinary life, where not everything is under our control and we have to rely on our experience and a bit of luck.
