About the Item

Afternoon Daze (Till Death do us Part) - 2005 38x36cm each, 38x120 installed, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. 3 Digital C-Prints, based on the 3 Polaroids. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory No. 9455. Not mounted. On offer is a piece from the project "Till Death do us Part" published in STRANGER THAN PARADISE, Hatje Cantz Verlag, Ostfildern, 2006, (monograph) "Till death do us part", an episode of the "29 Palms, CA" project. A film shot on Polaroid stills combined with Super 8 film sequences. "Till Death Do Us Part" is the story of two young lovers, lonely souls escaping the abuse of reality into each other. Imagine a stranger suddenly in your path, you can just be silent with, and you feel you have known her forever. This is the experience of Cristal and Margarita, that begins when Cristal picks her up hitchhiking on a lonely dessert road. A runaway from a cruel older brother and a broken family, Margarita is searching on the edge of the shadows for a home. Cristal was also a lonely child and already dangerously close to vanishing when she finds Margarita. For her it is the begging of life. When she finds Margarita, she finds herself, she feels for the first time and discovers that she is not invisible after all. The childlike, roadside life they make together is a dream that they truly believe will last forever, and with the naive joy of beginners, they dive in, never sensing danger. When two lost souls become one and share everything, do they loose themselves further or do they become whole at last? When a girl has no home, no anchor, can she combine thrive with another? Once a human heart wakes up from isolation for the first time, enchanted by a reflection in love's mirror, can the dreamer fall asleep again, or must she wander searching to find it again forever? In the canon of contemporary art, Stefanie Schneider occupies a territory uniquely her own — where film becomes emotion and light becomes memory. Working with expired Polaroid stock, Schneider orchestrates the alchemy of time, atmosphere, and chance, transforming the mechanical process of instant photography into an elegy of impermanence. Her desert tableaux — sunburnt, unraveling — defy classification. They are not photographs in the traditional sense; they are psychic landscapes, imbued with a cinematic tension that recalls Antonioni as much as they do the American road movie. Figures drift through ghost towns and dust-blown motels, their narratives suspended, their gestures unresolved. The dream is never explained — only inhabited. What distinguishes Schneider is not simply her mastery of a disappearing medium, but her refusal to correct or control its decay. The chemical instability of the film is not a flaw, but a collaborator. In embracing entropy, she gives form to what resists permanence: desire, memory, disappearance. Her palette — soft, volatile, fractured — is the chromatic language of longing. Few artists have so convincingly bridged photography and film, past and present, precision and surrender. Schneider’s work does not ask to be understood. It asks to be felt — viscerally, instinctively — like déjà vu, or the moment just before waking. It is no exaggeration to say that Stefanie Schneider has changed how we see, and more importantly, how we remember seeing.
