As Queerness deconstructs the boundaries of what it is to be human, polaroid can be used as a medium in deconstruction, changing even the appearance of what one knows to be a polaroid photograph. Through cutting, glueing, overlapping and intermixing polaroids along with other materials, new aunusual compositions emerge that transgress space and timelines to expand the possibilities of visual expression, as “queer”, surpassing any sort of canon and categorization. This chaotic process allows dealing with subjects such as body dysphoria, and the relation of the body and its presence in a certain space, with certain people and lovedones and all the issues that come in that context. As well as the effects it has on memory, the sense of time and the idea of the self.
