If you like the imperfection of Polaroid Transfers, you will definitely enjoy the fine art photography of Israel-born photographer Yaniv Waissa.
Talking to Waissa, he explained his Transfers concept as the following: “I’m going on a journey towards the unknown, towards a personal and collective experience–physical and emotional. I’m searching for the specific moment in which the landscapes go through defamiliarization and become an unknown realm. In that moment I’m free to examine the once known environment, as if I’m seeing it for the first time. In an era where life in general and photography specifically, is being digitized, when I choose to go back in time, back to traditional photography. With the technique of Polaroid Transfer I create a new image that has no apparent connection to the reality in which it was shot, nor to the time or place. I separate the singular Polaroid from its negative, and I transfer the wet negative on a blank paper page. I scan the newly formed image and print it.
My new born image captures a moment of alleged silence, when in fact it contains nothing but restlessness. It receives a life of its own and therefore activates a new system of morbid, apocalyptic and holocaust inspired associations.
In my work I approach the human race that had known too much suffering and not only the Israeli-Jewish history.” ❚
