Girl on a Night Bridge, Black & White Polaroid Surreal art Artwork

Vladimir Borele is a photographer and visual artist who is based in Kazakhstan. He searches for meaning and examines reality through visual poetry. His work encompasses several themes: explorations of mortality through Polaroids of degraded natural and man-made surfaces; themes of a broken world, climate-related catastrophes, psychological trauma; and examinations of emigration, identity and self-realisation amidst the fluid moralities and new paradigms of the data age. Using a Polaroid camera, he captures fleeting moments of reality and transforms them using the rare technique of Polaroid emulsion lift. He shares his knowledge of photography by teaching in Kazakhstan and online. He actively participates in international exhibitions and has won and been a finalist in several photography competitions.
