"This first comprehensive survey of Dash Snow's Polaroid photography chronicles the artist's early marauding on Manhattan's Lower East Side and conveys Snow's love of the photograph as memento. The joy and abandon of hard partying are converted by his Polaroid camera into powerful images that embrace the transience of the euphoric moment. All images are reproduced both fully-bled and actual size, as "objects," against a black background." Dash Snow born from a very wealthy and intensely artistic family lived just 28 years till his drug O.D. but left a (sometimes terrifying) record of his wildest young days in this Polaroid record of a particular time and place: NYC's lower east side art scene and the clique of rich, rebellious children of the elite who became 'monsters' of art. The Polaroid book is squarish Quarto, 280 pages and DEFINITIVE of Dash Snow's Polaroid work. His Polaroids are far beyond the blurry, unenergetic work of the photographers who played with the medium at this time.
