Project Instant V6.0: An Instant Instant

FREE entry

Beau Photo kicks off the sixth edition of Project Instant, an exhibition featuring images made on all types of instant film and exploring the science behind instant photography. At this opening celebration, you can take part in instant film photography and try out Fujifilm Instax film, or have your portrait taken with Polaroid’s 8×10 large-format film.

In an instant: a moment of time defined as infinitesimal. So short that it becomes difficult to measure, and more difficult to experience. The click of a shutter is much longer, so maybe in the realm of instant photography, the length of an instant needs to be redefined. It could be a moment short enough to catch the glance of a passer-by, or a period of time long enough to cause shapes and light to become abstract.

An Instant Instant is a group exhibition that allows artists to define the length of an instant as they experience it. Each of us perceives the passage of time in a different way, and these instant moments captured on film reflect unique perspectives and realities.
