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 out of several 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
