  Polaroid Emulsion Lift Polaroid Emulsion Lifts are one of a kind photographic images. By using a complicated heat process, the photographic image is actually lifted off its original surface and reapplied. In this particular case, the artist has chosen glass. This process differs from a Polaroid transfer, in that the image is composed of the actual emulsion, not transferred dyes. This particular type of Polaroid film produces just a positive. Since there is no negative available, the image cannot ever be reprinted. The emulsion, once lifted, is actually transparent and malleable. As with all colour photography, Polaroid Emulsion Lifts are not archival. Keep these images out of harsh lighting and you will enjoy this piece for many years to come. |
