About The Book

This 22-page book documents spliced and stapled together Polaroids (half day half night) that offer a surrealist commentary on the structures of society, specifically capitalism, and its impact on the concept of natural abundance. Each pair of images showcases the same scene, taken at different times of the day, and then cut in half and stapled together symmetrically to create an optical illusion.

The daytime half, imbued with warm tones, represents the bustling life of capitalism, while the cool, serene nighttime image symbolizes the unseen beauty, creativity, and exploration that takes a back seat in our work-centric lives. Through these images, I subtly critique the capitalistic society that prioritizes work over art, creativity, and exploration.

I created the series of photographs you'll find throughout the book out of a love of dialectics, the synthesis of opposites. Where there is light, there is also darkness. With the Polaroid series, I hope to inspire people that when we’re faced with dark times in life, we can also find the available light. 

Includes 1 x random test print printed by Lenny Gerard.
