IMPOSSIBLE GHANA EDITION
A GIFT BY CHANCE
Many years ago the Polaroid SX 70 camera captured the attention of the world. Even in Ghana this legendary camera is a cult object. In the streets of Accra an employee of our agency Heine/Lenz/Zizka discovered this remarkable replica of the SX-70 camera. An incredible homage, a work of art proving that something can be created out of nothing. With imagination and skill teenagers in Ghana have created this amazing object out of nothing but old scrap metal. The Impossible Ghana Edition shares the playful spirit of the Ghana artists.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCRAP CAMERA
IN THE WORLD
With their version of the SX 70 camera the artisans in Accra have achieved something that engineers can only dream of: they reduced the weight of the original from 800 g to only 170 g and made the construction even more compact. The downside? Optics, mechanics and everything else necessary to shoot a photo are missing. But that's a small sacrifice, THIS camera allows you to create fantastical images that can only be created with the mind's eye. See the camera in 3D here
FROM ACCRA
TO VIENNA, NEW YORK CITY & TOKYO
With great volunteer effort we have organized 400 cameras for this limited IMPOSSIBLE GHANA EDITION and brought them from the Ghanaian capital Accra to Vienna. From here these little works of art will travel to IMPOSSIBLE friends worldwide. We hope their inspiring examples will capture the imagination of photographers from New York to Tokyo, from Kapstadt to Sidney.
