POLAROIDS is the fourth nudes monograph of renowned photographer (& 2008 IPA award winner) Renée Jacobs. POLAROIDS continues Jacobs' playful, empowering & queer look at the female nude. The long-expired Polaroid Type 55 film renders a positive that is always flawed, always imperfect—a medium perfectly suited to reflect desires that are not always on the surface, not always accessible, longings sometimes seen and felt only on the peripheries of our consciousness. Using this method for this body of work was a perfect way to engage women in a more languorous, timeless reflection of sensuality.
