The Impossible Project Pop-Up and Workshop

Photography and instant film enthusiasts, rejoice!

We're delighted to host THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT for a Pop-Up Shop at Rare Device from July 15-25. We will have a full range of 600 SERIES Polaroid cameras on display, as well as the newly released fantastic I-1 camera with ring flash (use your mobile phone as a remote control!) and the Instant Lab Universal that outputs your tablet/mobile phone images to instant film! 

On Saturday, July 16 from 12pm-6pm, come by for a drop-in EMULSION LIFT WORKSHOP. There will be demos of the I-1, Instant Lab and all films available, and the opportunity to transfer images from the print to paper too. Come by to try the creative techniques available with analog film, and the capabilities of the Polaroid range and the new Impossible line up. This workshop is free but we recommend you RSVP HERE. See you soon!

The Impossible Project Pop-Up Shop at Rare Device runs from Friday, July 15 through Monday, July 25 at Rare Device on Divisadero Street. This pop-up shop will be available in-store only. We will not be selling Impossible Project items online. 

About The Impossible Project:

"When Polaroid announced the end of instant film in 2008, Impossible stepped in to buy the last remaining factory, days before it closed down. The machines had been dismantled, there were no formulas to follow and the supply chain had already been destroyed. If we wanted to keep instant photography alive, we had to reinvent instant film from scratch. Eight years later, with the help of some incredible chemists, engineers and photographers, we’re the only people in the world who make original format instant film. We make film in both color and black and white, for Polaroid 600-type, SX-70 and Image/Spectra cameras, as well as large format 8x10 film. We also refurbish classic Polaroid cameras so they’re as good as new, and have introduced our own new range of Impossible cameras. We believe in making real photos. Photos with a life after the shutter clicks. Photos that develop in the palm of your hand, ready to pin to the wall or give to a friend. That’s why we’ve spent eight years working on our film formula. It’s why we’re reinventing analog instant photography in a digital world." 

About the I-1:

The I-1 is the first new camera system in over 20 years for the original instant format. It’s an easy to use point and shoot instant camera, with a variety of unique and innovative features designed to take your photography further. Works with Impossible I-type and 600 type film. The I-1’s uniquely designed ring flash provides a diffused light that’s perfect for portraits. You can also connect your iPhone with the camera to experiment with creative tools like light painting, double exposure and more. This is the only instant camera that lets you take full photographic control of aperture and shutter speed, using the I-1 App’s manual mode. The I-1 is analog instant photography reinvented for the digital age.
