About The Artwork
Someday Soon (Stage of Consciousness), 2007 90x89cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the original Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory Number 7974b. Not mounted. Featuring Radha Mitchell (in Woody Allen"s "Melinda & Melinda). 29 Palms, CA The people and scenes captured in Stefanie Schneider's photography exude a magnetic allure. Her photographic series, taken in the American Southwest, feel like enigmatic, distorted sequences from forgotten road movies, infused with dreamlike storytelling. They offer captivating yet unsettling glimpses on the fringes of some unknown drama. The series "29 Palms, CA" was born under the intense, shimmering light of the Californian sun, specifically in the titular location, yet situated amidst the expansive American wilderness. Scantily clad figures in unremarkable moments: smoking, getting a manicure, playfully wielding water guns by the pool, adorned with amateurish makeup and styled with vibrant wigs. Others, including the artist herself, pose effortlessly for the lens. Above these slightly weathered beauties, blurred landscape elements, and worn interiors, hangs a peculiar, magical sense of displacement that doesn't quite align with the bright blue sky. Are these snapshots real or staged? Do they follow a script or are they incidental to another tale? The artist deftly toys with cinematic genres and their ingrained perceptions. The storyline is left to the interpretation of the viewer. Stefanie Schneider employs the instant photography technique commonly associated with snapshots. Embracing the unpredictable, she harnesses the charm of serendipity. To achieve the painterly blend of blur and faded hues, she works with expired Polaroid material, crafting enlarged C-prints from its aged remnants.

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.
