60 Seconds: Polaroids from the Collection

60 Seconds celebrates photography’s signature immediacy, tracing how artists have embraced Polaroids, or instant film, for their ability to produce a unique image in mere moments. 

Over time, this technology has fostered both spontaneous experimentation and inventive manipulation, making the Polaroid a site of play, process, and discovery.

Drawn from the Norton’s Collection, this exhibition considers why instant film continues to captivate artists and viewers alike, maintaining their cultural appeal well into the 21st century.
