PHTHRD II

"I went around asking all of you what your Grandmother or Grandfather's best advice was, and then I wrote it underneath your portraits. Surprisingly varied, very interesting, together they form a weird little story themselves. A few examples: Eat the fish eye… Use a condom… Drink with your pinky up… Plastic is the wave of the future…

As the piece moves down, you can see people's outfits and shoes. Forming complete individuals."

PHTHRD in NYC invites three artists to tell a story using hundreds of Polaroid pictures to craft a mosaic narrative. This will happen LIVE in Brooklyn on Tuesday March 25. That means you watch them do it and you get to be in the pictures.

Jonathan Harris, Joseph O. Holmes, and Elizabeth Weinberg will compete in PHTHRD II on Tuesday March 25.

PHTHRD
The first PHTHRD paired 5 teams of photographers and stylists, giving them one evening to shoot 3 creative briefs using a live audience of LVHRD members. Resulting photos were placed online for public voting, with an international audience declaring Alison Grippo the winner.

Nascent Sexuality Polaroid Map

Igor from Driven By Boredom has created a Google Map of his hometown of Alexandria VA, full of Polaroids and personal prose marking the milestone tingly events of his younger years. Landmarks include The Bush with a Playboy Buried Under It, Sarah’s House, Topless Forest. It’s a touching project (pun intended) and a sterling example (the only example?) of storytelling with maps.

See a few of his Polaroids & statement inside the post.

From Igor’s site:
On a recent drive through the neighborhood I grew up in I realized that most of the strong feelings that I had were a result of a nostalgia directly related to a more innocent feeling of women and my own sexuality that I had when growing up in Alexandria, VA. I wanted to do a photo project on this and take some images of the spots that gave me the most tingles.

View the project. See the Polaroids hi-rez. Check out the map.
