Presence, or Polaroid Ghosts (Part 8)

Part 7 Remembering Afterimage ‘At times,’ the Nobel Laureate and novelist Patrick Modiano writes, ‘it seems, our memories act much like Polaroids.’ This interesting thought comes from the semi-autobiographical perspective of a character in his novella Afterimage (1993). It is a narrative filled with strangeness, derived in part from the recollection of memories once forgotten; put to one side,…

Hello! Just my OC Polaroid hope to befriend the human in your AU!

(He hasn't see another human survivor for quite some time)

[Hello! My name is Polaroid!]

[I'm so glad to see another human!]

By the way, has any other alliance member try to communicate with the human through writing? Or simply the tablets they carry throughout the series? It would be much easier for them to communicate this way.

"Oh! Hello, Polaroid! Yeah, I'm kinda new around here after I got caught and all and it's so nice to meet--"

"Wait...another human?"

"I hope I don't sound rude when I ask this...but...uhm...what about you is human exactly? You look like just another ordinary cameraman to me...?" (Yes! There is one character that uses writing to communicate with the human. He actually is set to appear in the next chapter, in fact. ALSO! SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN YOUR RESPONSE!!)

The Tale of Madame Laree || Part I

Shot on Cinestill 800 T and experimental 35mm

Analog film story and lyrics by @annamadsen

Madame Laree

Marina was nineteen with an aura

full of light beams

that could pierce any

lucky man’s heart.

Her lips were stained with berries

her voice brought in the canaries,

because they wanted to sing her song -

She was full of beauty,

but her heart was rather lonely,

so she called upon Madame Laree.

Madame Laree

With your tarot and teas

Won’t you bring me company

And a man who will love me?

Madame Laree

With your wisdom and foresight

Don’t make this pretty girl

Alone tonight.

Well, a handsome villain came

To town and Marina’s heart

Fell to the ground,

His eyes cast a winsome spell.

Well he broke her heart

And left her there

To weep upon the city square

And Marina cursed Madame Laree

She was full of fire

And her broken heart conspired

She called upon Madame Laree

Madame Laree

With your tarot and teas

Won’t you bring me company

And a man who will love me?

Madame Laree

With your wisdom and foresight

Don’t make this pretty girl

Alone tonight.

Marina was 23

With a broken mind and blackened dream

Her lovers turned to trophies by her side

Her lips were stained with poison words

Her life brought darkness close to her

And she felt no happiness in side.

She once was full of beauty

Now her heart was rather lonely

So she called upon Madame Laree.

Don’t make this pretty girl alone tonight.

Bring me a love that will last through time!

Don’t make this pretty girl alone tonight!

Don’t make the same mistake

And fool me twice.

Madame Laree

With your tarot and teas

Won’t you bring me company

And a man who will love me?

Madame Laree

With your wisdom and foresight

Don’t make this pretty girl

Alone tonight.

I’ve got your reading.

Don’t double cross me.

(I’ll never forget)

Bring him back

(I’ll never forget)

Madame Laree.

Presence, or Polaroid Ghosts (Part 7)

Part 6 Time and again, cinema seems drawn to Polaroid photography, often in unusual and tangential ways. Antonioni’s film, even if ultimately about 35mm photography, is not the only one to explore the strangely tangible qualities of space within photography (or the things contained within a photograph beyond the image). When looking at Polaroids, we perceive them spatially. By that I mean we…
