Puppeteer (Haley and the Birds) Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Puppeteer (Haley and the Birds) - 2013 part of the 29 Palms, CA project 20x20cm, Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory # 16935. Not mounted. 29 PALMS, CA is an art piece that explores and chronicles the dreams and fantasies of a group of individuals who live in a trailer community in the Californian Desert. The world depicted in the film is inspired by the photographs of German artist Stefanie Schneider in that it combines the notions of reality and fantasy and explores the resonance of both within a desert landscape and a transient culture. The characters depicted in the film, (an actress, a singer, a DJ, a motel owner and his wife, an US army soldier, a mystic, a princess, a recluse, a movie ticket seller, two hitchhikers, a doctor, a director, etc.), are played by both actors and non-actors. The story is constructed through the interpretation of real life communications (i.e. phone calls, emails, conversations) that have taken place as the individuals depicted in the story try to make sense of events that have occurred in real life. In this sense the story is, in part, a biography and social commentary, and the characters are the exaggerated alter egos of the individuals who play them. Schneider's Medium and Unique Process Integral to Schneider's artistic journey is her distinct medium and process. Utilizing expired Polaroid instant film, she transforms imperfections into visual poetry. The unique character of this film, with its unpredictability and inherent flaws, contributes to the distinct aesthetic of her photographs. This choice imbues her works with a vintage allure, inviting viewers to connect with a bygone era while engaging with contemporary themes.
