On February 8, 2008 Polaroid announced the end of instant film. This show celebrates the history of Polaroid film and cameras with the art of Tod Brilliant.
Aside from doing his damndest to help rather than harm, Tod enjoys gorilla suits in coffee shops, yukio mishima -- especially the lovely sad tetralogy, paul bowles if only for his dowdy mannerisms, buckaroo banzai of course as it represents the pinnacle along with the burmese harp of filmic art, the sea when it scares him which is when it exists before him crashing and deep, most of all julio cortazar's hopscotch, yes, even more than nick cave’s work of genius and even more than bulgakov’s madness, his son justice brilliant as the two are twin planets orbiting, his friends and family few but proud, his work as it is fluid, creative and never demanding of him more than he demands of it (not to talk in circles but only to tell a truth), root beer, yes more of a vice, some of the better situationist outpourings like raoul v's and the great overdubbed films (but dear god not debord who couldn't cope with having held empty ideas in a world full of men more sound), but Tod will trade them for the genius of Bucky Fuller and Nikola Tesla and the righteous path of Eugene Debs, Sly (sigh) Stone aka Sylvester Stewart not only because he coined the phrase 'different strokes for different folks' which is such a thick concept if one spends time with it.
