Borne of one of the fortuitous mistakes in the artist’s studio that leads to incredible breakthroughs—a camera malfunction—Kost’s latest series consists of multiple-exposure Polaroids of young, stereotypically beautiful men—a subject and technique that Kost has been investigating for nearly a decade. These mesmerizing, layered Polaroid images are collected in Fractured, along with contextualizing and descriptive text from Franklin Sirmans, LACMA Curator of Contemporary Art.
