Failaroids: original instant failures and manipulations by AleDiGangi

Browse unique items from AleDiGangi on Etsy, a global marketplace of handmade, vintage and creative goods.

So - the exhibition for April 2017 is done and over.

While we wait to announce the next installment of the “Failaroids” exhibition, you can browse and purchase these unique failed photographs on Etsy and on Facebook shops. Each item from the Failaroids series/exhibitions is one-of-a-kind; each photograph is a unique piece, and what you will be buying and getting are non-reproducible pieces of Art, signed by me, the author.

Soon I will have details of the next installment of the exhibition: it will happen in the Summer, will sport a different name (to fit in a series of events), will feature a slightly different set of photographs. This is due to a couple of reasons: 1. some of the photos featured at Cuco in April were sold and won’t be available since their now rightful owners are holding them in their lucky hands; 2. I like to spice up things and make each exhibition unique. Add to the above the fact that I am still producing Failaroids and I am always happy to have a chance to show them around... and there you have it.

Until the next one then, with further details, I hope to see you on my shops: on Etsy on Facebook

More details coming soon so stay tuned.

Failaroids is an exhibition by Ale Di Gangi, collecting 60+ instant failed shots on Impossible and  Polaroid films.

For the past 10 years Ale Di Gangi has built this exhibition collecting and preserving his best instant photography failures. Putting now on display this collection, his intention is to prove that instant photography is an art even when it fails because its experimental nature is capable of producing unexpected and wonderful artifacts.

Virtually every integral film that Impossible has produced since 2010 is represented here, from the very first run of PX100 Silver Shade until today's duochromes. Also a few original Polaroid films are thrown in: Time-Zero, 779 and 600, and even one Fade to Black shot.

Failaroids is arranged around 3 main themes:

missed developments: photographs that for various reasons never (fully) developed, turned into otherworldly visuals;

deranged: shots physically damaged either by fate or on brazen purpose and chemicals "exploded" into nondescript pieces;

partly figurative: a mixture of the two previous categories, retaining some image visible to some extent.

The exhibition will open on April 1st, 2017 at 6.30pm c/o CUCO Cucina Contemporanea, in Via del Melarancio 4r - Firenze (Italy). The closing event is scheduled for April 30th.

Each unique piece on display is signed by the photographer and for sale.

Failaroids is created in collaboration with Guazine and is part of the Expolaroid panel of events for the International Month of instant photography.
