Polaroid Emulsion Lift - Workshop
๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ by @yasminahilal_
This workshop introduces Polaroid emulsion lifting, a technique where the emulsion layer of an instant photograph is carefully separated and transferred onto various surfaces like water, paper, and textiles. The process blends instant photography with mixed media, emphasizing sustainable art practices while celebrating both traditional and contemporary artistic expression.
@yasminahilal_ received her BA in Visual Media Arts, with a minor in Photography, from Emerson College. While there, she experimented heavily in the dark room, observing alternative techniques to scanning, printing, and manipulating images.
The result is a body of work that asks the viewer to linger a little longer and move through aspects of the piece. Like a snake, her art moves through visual and emotional landscapes that are both variable and static.
Yasmina Hilal has exhibited her works in group exhibitions, including A Complex Embodiment (Los Angeles, 2021), The Chemistry of Feeling (Dubai, 2021), The Cutting Studios Annual Exhibition (Doha, 2022), Dear Moon (Beirut, 2022), Solo Exhibition: I See Me In You at MENA Art Fair (Brussels, 2023), The Age of Dystopia at Dalloul Art Foundation (Beirut, 2024), and The Material Woman at Soho Revue (London, 2024).
