Bhutan 1912
Polacards Collection
The Polacards Collection is a subset of 15 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 Due to the outdated and unstable chemicals and the lack of any trace of modern-life aspects such as cars or electricity posts, it all adds up to an antique look.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 polacard set consist of a selection of 15 Polaroids printed in 350g/m2 paper with the same size as the original pictures. Each of the polacards has a brief description of the depicted subject, its location and the Polaroid camera used. For the ones that like to stick to the analogue way in the digital days, a stamp placeholder has been designed so that the word can be spread out using the postal service.
With every polacard set purchased, Bhutan 1912 supports Unicef Bhutan with the net proceeds.
