“In the autumn of 2006 I saw a yellow label appear on the blue boxes of Polaroid 665. In five languages it announced the imminent death of that film. In the industry one never says that a product is stopped: one says it is discontinued. A blind person is a person with a visual impairment, a deaf person is hearing impaired, a film that dies is a discontinued product.
When the end of 665 was announced, I decided to work with that countdown in mind: only ten packs left, each containing ten views, then seven, five, four, three, two, one, finished. It was a new sensation in a digital age where everything seems infinite, free, light and volatile: I found myself in a restricted economy, with the need to think about every single view.”
