Objects that don’t belong – polaroids by Joe Mckay

“looking at the works of Joe Mckay i was able to absorb different messages, by joining all his polaroids i created a hypothetical puzzle where the chips were specially marked to be deciphered and unified in unusual categories. I chose 4 of many polaroids which offered the same unintentional logic and this is what i came up with: OBJECTS THAT DON’T BELONG. I really enjoy the nature of these photographs specially the careless framing and the faded tones. Although these photographs stood out from McKay’s polaroid collection for not belonging (-refrence to a place or time) there were a few others that were superior in concept for just the opposite – Belonging- ex. surfer boys in wagon, homeless guy in the street, couch in a living room etc. Check out Joe Mckay’s work here“
