Instant Light: Tarkovsky Polaroids Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An elegiac collection of sixty Polaroid photographs by the late Soviet film director Andrei Tarkovsky. ""Tarkovsky often reflected on the way that time flies and wanted to stop it, even with these quick Polaroid shots.

The book may therefore be viewed as a facsimile edition. 60 color illustrations.
