Fade to Black

A mistake late in the production of the soon to be closed factory results in a batch of Polaroid film with strange and unexpected characteristics. The small batch is saved from destruction by someone who understands the interesting nature of the mistake and properties of the film.

The photographer Martina Holmberg gets hold of a pack and falls in love with the films unpredictable and chaotic expression. She buys as much of it as she can get a hold of and with it she creates a painterly and atmospheric world of moments. Her work culminates in an exhibition and monograph uncommon in Swedish photography.
