Wim Wenders on Polaroids, and the Pope

World Update

Available for over a year

Wim Wenders is the prolific director behind award winning classics such as Wings of Desire and Paris, Texas. He is also a playwright, an author and a photographer. In his most recent exhibition he delved into his archive of thousands of Polaroids, to create 'Early Works 1964-1984'. Dan Damon went to meet him at the Blain Southern gallery in London to discuss his love of the Polaroid, the future of photography and his new film, a documentary about the current Pope. If you missed Wim Wenders' Polaroid exhibition in London then you can see some of the images on The World Update in Pictures.
