Mikael Kennedy began documenting his life and travels via Polaroid photographs in 1999. He wandered around the U.S and abroad for a decade, capturing hauntingly beautiful images of what he saw and who he met.
Kennedy has published 9 volumes of artist books, and his Polaroids are permanently archived on his blog, Passport to Trespass. His work is represented by Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art, NYC and has been exhibited all over the U.S., including an exhibition of 500 Polaroids at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. His work can also be seen as part of the permanent collection at Houston’s Museum of Fine Art.
There is a calming charm in the subtleness of his work. Each photograph feels as if you just pulled it out of an old shoebox that had been tucked away in your attic for years. You feel as if each landscape is a wonderful place you’ve visited, and that each portrait subject is a dear ol’ friend. There’s a certain comfort in familiarity, a sense of home.
