Published by IDEA in 2020, Polaroids is the second volume to emerge from the archive of the late Davide Sorrenti (1976–1997), the Italian American photographer whose short life and raw vision became emblematic of 1990s youth culture, fashion, and underground aesthetics.

Curated by his mother, Francesca Sorrenti, the book presents an intimate selection of Davide’s personal Polaroid photographs, which capture fleeting, candid moments of friends, lovers, and the fashion world that surrounded him. More than just casual snapshots, these Polaroids reveal Davide’s unfiltered eye for beauty, vulnerability, and rebellion the very qualities that made his work resonate beyond his years.

This edition stands as a poignant continuation of the effort to preserve and celebrate his archive, following the release of ArgueSKE (2019). It not only serves as a memorial to his life and tragic early passing at the age of 20, but also as a testament to his enduring influence on photography, fashion, and visual culture.
