ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A piece of art from the movie 'Stay' by Stefanie Schneider Stefanie created the art for both main actors Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling in the movie 'Stay' directed by Marc Forster. She also created the art for several dream sequences and the end credit sequence for the movie 'Room No. 503', II (Strange Love), 2010, 48x47cm, Edition 1/5, analog C-Print printed on Fuji Archive Paper, hand-printed by the artist based on a Polaroid, sgnature label and certificate, artist Inventory Nr. 6135B.01, not mounted. “I never remember the details of a Stefanie Schneider image, just the whole. She treads a third path between reality and dream that connects the two and truly sparks my artistic, visual freedom.” (Marc Forster) Shown is a piece of Stefanie Schneider's project 'Strange Love' the sub story of 29 Palms, CA Love, lost and unrequited leaves its mark in our lives as a senseless pain that has no place in the present. The ex lover experiences the residues of love as an amputee experiences the sensation of a ghost limb. It is the tangible experience of “absence” that has inspired this piece. And it is using the nuances of memory and imagination that I have chosen to explore my relationships with my lover, as he represented himself, as I experienced him and as he was experienced by others... 'strange love' is based on the story of Lance (The Smoke Jumper), Eva (alias Fia) und Stefanie (alias Stella, alias Stevie) who were entangled in a ménage à trois. The project relates to real time events and reflects on love, sexuality, communication between men and women, and perception. The story has been reenacted, reinvented, rendered independently. strange_love_2004 has been developed parallel to 29 Palms, CA. Fragments, perceptions, memories, images, words, emotions, visions overlap, comment and outrun each other, become history while still happening, leave at the same time transient and fixed documents: photographs, films, paintings, text. Someone is not there and therefore even more about. (Maja Maria Liebau, theater critic) Due to the steady change of perspectives - realities, illusions, dreams on different time lines, the question of truth is impossible to answer. Reality is profoundly subjective and the search for personal happiness is a steady (manic) interpretation of one’s own truth. Both projects are shown and exhibited together. Both presentations relate to each other. Several exhibitions and publications are accompanying the project to show the different perspectives and interpretations of “truth” and it's fragmentation [ the process of shattering or breaking up into fragments ]. In the end both projects will be joint: A fictitious conclusion about love.

Stefanie Schneider lives and works in the High Desert of California. Stefanie Schneider's scintillating situations take place in the American West. Situated on the verge of an elusive super-reality, her photographic sequences provide the ambience for loosely woven story lines and a cast of phantasmic characters. Schneider works with chemical mutations of expired Polaroid film stock. Chemical explosions of color spreading across the surfaces undermine the photograph's commitment to reality and induce her characters into trance-like dream-scapes. Like flickering sequences of old road movies Schneider's images seem to evaporate before conclusions can be made - their ephemeral reality manifesting in subtle gestures and mysterious motives. Schneider's images refuse to succumb to reality, they keep alive the confusions of dream, desire, fact, and fiction. She is currently working on the 29 PALMS, CA. 29 PALMS, CA is a feature film / 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. A defining feature of the film is the use of still images and the use of voice over. Characters talk to us / themselves / you about their ambitions, memories, hopes, fears and dreams. The film is to be shot using a mix of super 8 and 16mm film stock and Polaroid images. Certain computer-generated effects will also be used to enhance the films surreal mood and to animate its dark humor. Radha Mitchell, Marc Forster, Udo Kier, Max Sharam among others are participating in the project. Stefanie Schneider received her MFA in Communication Design at the Folkwang Schule Essen, Germany. Her work has been shown at the Museum for Photography, Braunschweig, Museum für Kommunikation, Berlin, the Institut für Neue Medien, Frankfurt, the Nassauischer Kunstverein, Wiesbaden, Kunstverein Bielefeld, Museum für Moderne Kunst Passau, Les Rencontres d'Arles.
