Instant Light - Tarkovsky Polaroids - Thames and Hudson - 2009

Edited by Giovanni Chiaramonte and Andrey Tarkovsky. Introduction by Tonino Guerra.

Composed of sixty luminous polaroids taken by Andrey Tarkovsky in Russia and Italy between 1979 and 1984, this poetic series of cameos reveals the director as a master of the still image as well as of the moving one. From the familiar shadows of his country’s dacha to glimmering Italian ruins, this logbook ends on A.T’s personal collection. Whether taken or collected, his images seem to capture eternity in a moment.
