Polaroid Monochrome

The "Polaroid 50x60 Monochrome" series by Werner Pawlok is a group of large-format, predominantly magenta-hued unique Polaroid works in which primarily women, blossoms, and plant motifs such as lilies and orchids are transformed into reduced, painterly images. It is part of Pawlok's work with the rare 50 x 60 cm or 20 x 24-inch Polaroid instant camera.

Character of the series

At the center are individual blossoms – such as Monochrome Lilie II and Orchidee Monochrome – which appear isolated, large, and almost sculptural against a calm background.

The monochrome enhances contour, tonal gradation, and surface; instead of botanical documentation, contemplative, almost abstract studies of form and light emerge.

For this as well, Pawlok used the large-format Polaroid camera with the process of interrupting the development of the positive and negative. The result is a monochrome unique piece.

The series connects Pawlok's interest in large-format Polaroid photography with his "Photography Paintings" and "Transfers". From 1987 and 1988 onwards, he worked with the 50 x 60 cm camera, of which only two examples existed worldwide; this resulted in projects such as Photography Paintings (1988–1990), Stars & Paints (1990–1993), and the Transfers (1991–1993).[7][8]
