POLAROID PORTRAITS
POLAROID PORTRAITS
CREDITS
Canadian photographer Chad Coombs creates photo collages, which combine analog instant photography with the opportunities of digital image processing through the eyes of a former painter. In order to distract the idea of dreamlike aesthetics Coombs creates art works that show women with grotesque and exaggerated faces. Yet, the illustrated women scatter grace, erotic and lasciviousness. His work contrasts the illusion of accomplished beauty and partly reflects his biography as he experienced the devaluation of disability in society himself and subsequently learned, that appearance is elusive and perfection relative.
