About artwork
My parents always told me to eat more and exercise more. I guess I internalized that and now I have body image issues. This photo is my way of working through some of those issues. I created this black and white Polaroid photograph to explore themes of self-destruction and the tension of not accepting one's body. This is not just a photo for me; it is a deeply personal exploration of vulnerability and identity, captured through analog processes that leave no room for perfection, only authenticity.

This one-of-a-kind artwork was created using original fresh Polaroid cartridges and quality 300gsm watercolor 100% cotton paper with a rough texture.
Framed in a 22x22x3cm black acrylic glass frame with a white epartout and is ready to hang.
Signed front and back and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Artist Inventory No. 20241001

This artwork will fit in any interior and will be a great gift for a connoisseur of analog photography or a topic of conversation for your guests. If you would like to purchase a larger or unframed work, please note the prints. Prints available in several sizes.

Borele’s Medium and Unique Process
Using a Polaroid camera, Vladimir captures fleeting moments of reality and transforms them through the rare technique of Polaroid emulsion lift. This creative process allows you to lift an image from a Polaroid and in the process, create a new work of art shaped by movement, manipulation, and texture. The consistency of the emulsion allows you to fold, fan, twist, and layer your image in new and creative ways. Vladimir values the tactile experience, using high quality watercolor paper with a rough texture and Polaroid emulsion that disintegrates under his fingers. This process is not very predictable, which makes it similar to ordinary life, where not everything is under our control and we have to rely on our experience and a bit of luck.

Vladimir Borele is a fine art photographer based in Kazakhstan. Influenced by renowned writers and childhood memories of his small hometown, Vladimir searches for meaning through visual poetry. His work encomes several strands: explorations of mortality through Polaroid images of degraded surfaces, both natural and man-made; themes of a broken world, psychological trauma; examinations of emigration, identity, and self-realization amidst the fluid moralities and new paradigms of the data age. Using a Polaroid camera, he captures fleeting moments of reality and transforms them through the rare technique of Polaroid emulsion lift. He values the tactile experience, so he uses watercolor paper with a rough texture and Polaroid emulsion that disintegrates under his fingers. Vladimir shares his knowledge of photography through teaching in Kazakhstan and online. He actively participates in international exhibitions and is a winner and finalist in several photography competitions.
