Tarkovsky Polaroids

Continuing with my silence project Mac mentioned to me in my review a few weeks ago that I should look at the book 'Instant Light: Tarkovsky Polaroids' to bring more contextualization into my research. The book is very similar to the style of photographs I have taken and showed in my review and how it has developed since. There are some really nice shots in the book focusing on shadows cast and the idea of watching people with shots looking in through a window. The sixty polaroids taken by Andrey Tarkovsky in Russia and Italy between 1979 and 1984 show a reflection of this time and how Tarkovsky wanted to stop time by capturing it on a polaroid.
