- Summary:
- Polaroids by American artist, musician, writer and bookshop keeper Cary Loren interleaves snapshots of his 1970s Detroit entourage with photographs of his elaborately staged collage assemblages of prints, TV stills, magazine covers, stickers, movie posters and other ephemera. The Polaroid medium enables him to manipulate what are seemingly unrelated visual idioms and image carriers in the development process by scratching and pressing the emulsion and combining them into pictures of painterly quality. This artist's book includes an interview conducted by American artist Cameron Jamie in cemeteries beside the graves of Loren's idols (including Vampira, Ed Wood Jr, Jane Mansfield), where Loren's own life story is told against the biographical background of those buried icons of pop culture.
