A collection of the best stories from the Found Polaroid Project, a personal archive of over 6,000 orphaned images collected since 2011. The idea is simple: to breathe new life into long-forgotten images by asking creative minds to write stories about them. Eerily distant yet warmly familiar, the stories and the Polaroids that inspired them transport us to a different time and into the intimate lives of strangers. The project is also a platform to explore the cultural importance of found and material photography and of the iconic Polaroid, addressed in essays by Kyler Zeleny and Dr Peter Buse and a preface by Dr Lisa Jaye Young.
