Selfpolaroids is a special box set, bringing together 32 large format postcards of the artist's polaroid selfies (4C), 1 book of Tokyo Rumando's new Peel Apart series (24 pages, 4C), and a sealed pack of the artist's personal belongings or stage props (unique to each box) all housed together in a luxurious printed clamshell box.
Please note: the vacuum-sealed personal belongings included with each copy of selfpolaroids are one-of-a-kind items. Please see the gallery above for four examples of items included with each box.
"I was a highschool student when I first got the polaroid camera. It was a fun gadget to play with friends, as it could quickly capture the moment.
This box set includes a selection of my polaroid works from 2005 until now.
I used to use the polaroid camera to do testing for my self portraits.
Polaroids are like a documentation of reality for me, as I make works that interconnect the present, past, and future.
When I look into their unique colours, I can see many beautiful colour particles like the universe - it gives me an unexplainable sense of exaltation."
