About the Item

Leaving (Strange Love) - 2005 20x30cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on a 35mm film. Signature label and certificate. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider redefines the language of photography through her singular devotion to imperfection. Working with expired Polaroid film, she coaxes meaning from chemical unpredictability, turning what others discard into moments of haunting beauty. Her art is not an escape from reality but a confrontation with its emotional residue — tender, ruptured, luminous. These aren’t pictures that posture or perform. They hover. They haunt. They hold the soft weight of memory. Her subjects, often women suspended in private reverie, are not captured but accompanied. They are neither objectified nor romanticized; instead, they breathe within the frame, fully themselves — uncertain, powerful, unfolding. In this space, female identity is not a symbol, but a presence. Time slows, sun flares, and something unspoken glows just beneath the surface. Even the color seems to remember. This is not work that obeys the rules. It resists polish. It resists speed. In choosing fragility as her medium, Schneider resists the cultural obsession with perfection — allowing chemical blemishes, light leaks, and fading emulsions to narrate what cannot be said outright. The damage becomes part of the voice. The fault lines shimmer. And yet, in all this quiet unraveling, there is strength. Endurance. The act of making beauty from what breaks down. Though many of her figures drift through the loneliness of deserts, motels, or small domestic spaces, there is nothing empty in their solitude. Her world is full — of echoes, of lives lived and half-lived, of collaborators and confidantes, of music drifting in from another room. Her work moves in spirals, looping back through time, each image speaking to the next, creating a kind of visual novel written in light and heat and silence. Schneider’s practice is more than visual — it is philosophical. It is a life devoted to slowness, sincerity, and the sacred imperfection of analog film. Her process is slow, deliberate, organic. She waits for the sun, the season, the story. She does not capture — she allows. The results feel less like photographs than relics from dreams we forgot we had, each one pulsing with nostalgia, melancholy, and love. This is art that refuses to explain itself. It lingers. It trusts the viewer to meet it halfway. And in doing so, it offers a kind of solace: that we, too, in all our mess and longing, might be seen as beautiful. That time, though it fades us, also tenderizes us. And that within the broken places — chemical, personal, planetary — a new kind of light still shines.

Brigitte LUSTENBERGER (*1969, Switzerland) Not titled yet, from the series 'A Gaze of One's Own‘, 2021 Silver gelatin print on Baryta paper Sheet 70 x 70 cm (27 1/2 x 27 1/2 in.) Edition of 5, plus 2 AP; Edn. no. 1/5 print only Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Brigitte studied at Zurich University and received her MA in Social and Photo History in 1996. In the following years she established herself as an fine art photographer. She moved to New York and received her MFA in Fine Art Photography and Related Media at Parsons The New School of Design in 2007. The main issues in her works lie in her interest in the study of the gaze, the interplay between absence and presence in a photographic image, and the fact that the reading of a photograph is most often triggered by a collective memory. She explores the media itself and its close connection to themes like decay, memory, death and transitoriness. Brigitte Lustenberger has shown nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows. She had Solo Shows at the Museée de l’Elysée in Lausanne/Switzerland, at Walter Keller’s Scalo Gallery in Zurich and New York, at Le Maillon...
