claret is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Claret left behind a pocket-sized archive of Polaroids stashed in an old shoebox, some shot on a lunch break, others at 2 a.m. when the diner’s neon buzzed just right. Their black-and-white prints feel more like postcards from a stranger’s life than art; a hand reaching for a coffee cup, rain streaks on a bus window, a dog asleep on a motel bed. Flip through and you’ll land on a diner booth shot called Untitled (Photograph), just two saltshakers and a napkin roll, but the light makes it feel like a quiet promise.
