Today in street art II



Oh, here's another set of Polaroids in the "Love is an oasis of horror" collection... William Klayer spotted these...











Anyone know more about these?

Anyone remember the guy who used to sell porn from a pushcart in Astor Square (where there was a parking lot once - just south from the cube)? That guy would have binders full of polaroid picture - the kind you'd see in motorcycle magazines ("Beaver of the Month" - that kind of thing). These remind me of what that guy had, although this is artsy, and what he had was mostly just disturbing...

Useless "art". (I hate "art" and especially "art" students!)

I think those photos are an oasis of horror in a desert of boredom.

The artists quote:
"What I’m doing with my life
I bought 3 Polaroid cameras and I started to shoot myself. I have become addicted to instant film."

I always like polaroids

The girl in that photo kinda looks like the late Wendy O Willams of the Plasmatics.

Oh, thanks to the above commenters we know this lady took these photos recently (and they're not "vintage" from the age of Polaroids). BLEH. That changes everything. From bad to worse.

The act of snapping a picture is no longer enough to confirm reality and enhance experience; only sharing can give us that validation

Maybe, instead of trying to make our new photos look more like old ones, we are trying to make our new photos look like art that looks like old photos.
