As soon as you have sensors to capture something, you reproduce [what you’re seeing], and it doesn’t mean anything. There is no real picture.

A Polaroid photograph is a real picture, in the sense that it exists as a single, definitive, physical thing. Whether what it shows is real is a different question, though.
