6. Polanography (From an ongoing project)

In this section, we present archive footage of Araki’s exhibitions of polaroids and of the polaroids themselves. He has been holding these exhibitions since 2002. In the polaroids, Araki puts the medium to masterful effect in capturing daily events and the flow of time. The playful title was devised by Araki himself, and is typical of his talent for experimenting with language.
