A hauntingly poetic reflection on memory, loss, and the act of seeing, Camera Solo gathers Patti Smith’s intimate photographic work in one of her earliest solo exhibitions. Published in conjunction with the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, this quiet yet powerful volume reflects Smith’s lyrical eye deeply personal images of objects, relics, and scenes that resonate with the same intensity as her writing and music.
Shot primarily with a vintage Polaroid Land 250 camera, the photographs in Camera Solo offer meditations on time, creativity, and the sacredness of everyday things: Rimbaud’s grave, Frida Kahlo’s corset, a simple bed, a pair of shoes. Each frame reads like a whispered poem.
More than a photography book, this is a piece of Smith’s inner world an archive of reverence, silence, and artistic inheritance. A must for fans of her work across disciplines, and for collectors of soulful, quiet image-making.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
