To have a
polaroid-picture twice all the same, you have to take another
photo, recreating a situation as similar as possible to the first
one and try to shoot the photo in the same way. Therefor I aimed
to focus on the very little changes of the new moment, in the
motive itself, the color differences (due to the developing process),
the surroundings and the light situation, which are only noticeable
the second time you look at it.
I tried to
use a special type of images, which in our visual perception are
immediately recognized as moments of motion. So I chose typical
patterns of something "passing by", like the dive into
the water, the predator cat going to and fro in the zoo or the
landscape moving past seen through the car window. Each photo
was taken with exactly the same position and camera, and in each
photo there is a part of motion-blur making it obvious to the
viewer, that all situations really had to happen several times
in order to shoot each unique photo.
