Polaroid SX-70 Manipulations

Polaroid SX-70 manipulations were created by exposing an image onto Polaroid Time Zero film by means of SX-70 and 600 series cameras, a Daylab slide printer or an enlarger. After the image developed, the film emulsion remained pliable for a number of hours so that it could be manipulated by using different tools, such as crochet hooks, wooden ceramic tools, burnishing tools, pens, etc. A variety of effects could be achieved, transforming the images so that the distinction between photographs and paintings is blurred.

This film was discontinued in 2005, however the Impossible Project has been making new versions of this film and other Polaroid films. Follow the progress at http://www.the-impossible-project.com.
