"Metal. Time. Light" Exhibition Identity
Rosphoto Museum, Saint-Petersburg, 2026
EN
The Polaroid exhibition "Metal. Time. Light" at the Rosfoto Museum and Exhibition Center. The exhibition is dedicated to experimental Polaroid photography: experiments with emulsion, post-processing, and distortion. The focus is not on specific works or artists, but on the medium itself. The logo and identity are built on the metaphor of metal compounds that form an analog image through interaction with light.

Выставка Polaroid «Металл. Время. Свет» в Музее-выставочном центре «Росфото». Выставка посвящена экспериментальной фотографии Polaroid: экспериментам с эмульсией, постобработкой и искажением. В центре внимания не конкретные работы или художники, а сам носитель. Логотип и фирменный стиль построены на метафоре металлических соединений, которые формируют аналоговое изображение посредством взаимодействия со светом.

A gradient wall of photographs that don't meet the criteria of being correct or high-quality. An interactive stand for drawing with "silver." It allows you to experience the fluidity of time and material with your hands: it's impossible to create identical patterns, just as it's impossible to take two identical photographs
