WINNERS

History of The Earth

  • Photographer
    Marius W , Germany
  • Prize
    Bronze Winner in Technique/Instant

In my series I illustrate the story of the earth with abstract polaroids. The emulsion layer of the instant photos gets modulatable with some hot water. By that I formed new objects with my bare hands. But I also used other techniques, like film soups. I created the big bang, first sun, ocean, first life, planet earth with different rock layers, dinosaurs, all continents, a knight helmet and a human. The final picture with the handmade seagull shows the negative impact from humans to the earth. The waves, which are made of a commercially plastic waste bag, symbolize the global ocean pollution.
