Retro Time Machine Photo Booth

Age-Shifted Instant Polaroids Walk-Act

Retro Time Machine Photo Booth is a mobile walkabout photo option that creates personalised instant Polaroid prints showing guests at any age they choose. Using a purpose-built instant camera and AI-assisted image processing, the performer photographs guests and produces a tangible print that develops in two to three minutes. The no-stage format makes it easy to place the act among mingling guests, on hospitality stands or at reception areas.

The experience blends a retro Polaroid aesthetic with modern AI visual effects: each guest names a desired age and receives a labelled keepsake that sparks conversation and social sharing long after the event. The act is presented as a roaming photo station (camera on a tripod) with a static artist interacting with guests and an operator managing the workflow. A stable internet connection (WLAN or mobile data) is required for image processing; the format is suitable for events, trade fairs and company parties and can run indoors or outdoors with a small preparation area.
