Bhutan 1912
Polaroid Collection
The Polaroids Collection is a subset of 18 photographs from the archive of Bhutan 1912's project which depict sceneries, people and day to day activities of the traditional Bhutan under the lenses of a leather SX-70 and a OneStep Express. The films used are from The Impossible Project, being the black and white prints the PX 600 Silver Shade and PX100 Silver Shade Cool and the colour ones the PX 680 Color Shade and PX 70 Color Shade Cool. Due to the outdated and unstable chemicals and the lack of any trace of modern-life aspects such as cars or electricity posts, it all adds up to an antique look.
The collection consist of eight large format (107x88 cm) and 8 medium format (53.5x44 cm) digital C-prints (Lambda) of Polaroids. The photographic prints are mounted on DIBOND body with a DIASEC finish and having an aluminium sub-frame on the back.
