Instant Stories is a photography book by German filmmaker and photographer
Content
The book documents a large quantity of polaroid's taken by Wenders under the most diverse circumstances, presenting places, with street and landscape photographs, and events during his film career, specially in the 1970s, including his first travels to the
Exhibition
The book was accompanied by the exhibition "Instant Stories/Wim Wenders' Polaroids", which took place at The Photographers' Gallery, in London, from 20 October 2017 to 11 February 2018.[6][7]
Reception
The British Journal of Photography praised the book and described it as a "love letter to the Polaroid".[8] Charlotte Irwin, at Financial Times, also praised the book, considering that "Whether it's an intimate glimpse of actor Dennis Hopper or an empty Western landscape, the pictures act as an authentic, unedited documentation of Wenders's life and work, and show the beauty of photography before the filtered age."[9]
