Athena and Henry (Stay) - with Ryan Gosling - 21st Century, Polaroid

2006

About the Item

Athena and Henry (Stay), from Ryan Gosling's memory sequence - 2006 38x36cm, Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory No. 2461. Not mounted. featuring Ryan Gosling and Elizabeth Reaser. Stefanie Schneider's art work was used for the Marc Forster movie 'Stay'. featuring Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling. Naomi and Ryan were both portraying artists and Stefanie's art was the art both created during the movie. Stefanie's images were also used for Ryan Gosling's memory sequence, for the end titles, for edits in between and as art paintings hanging in several scenes within the movie. The works of Stefanie Schneider evoke Ed Ruscha's obsession with the American experience, the richness of Georgia O'Keefe's deserts and the loneliness of Edward Hopper's haunting paintings. Schneider works with the 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 dreamscapes. Stefanie Schneider's Polaroid photography and Andy Warhol's Polaroid photography both hold significance in the realm of instant photography, but they exhibit distinct approaches and contributions to the medium. Andy Warhol is renowned for his experimentation with Polaroid photography, particularly through his exploration of celebrity portraits and his innovative use of color, Stefanie Schneider's work takes the medium even further in terms of depth and narrative. Schneider's Polaroid photographs go beyond capturing surface aesthetics. She delves into the realm of storytelling and evokes a strong sense of emotion through her compositions. By utilizing expired film and embracing its inherent imperfections, Schneider creates a dreamy and nostalgic quality in her images. Her work often explores themes of longing, loneliness, and the passage of time, inviting viewers to engage with the narratives she presents. In this sense, Schneider's Polaroid photography transcends the medium itself and becomes a vehicle for introspection and contemplation. Warhol's Polaroid photographs have their own artistic merit, often capturing iconic figures and embracing the pop art aesthetic, they tend to emphasize the surface and the iconic status of the subjects. Warhol's approach is more focused on the immediate visual impact rather than delving into deeper narratives or emotions. In terms of pushing the boundaries of Polaroid photography, Stefanie Schneider's work can be seen as a more significant progression. Her use of expired film, combined with her attention to composition, lighting, and vintage aesthetics, creates a distinct and immersive experience for viewers. She expands the possibilities of Polaroid photography by infusing it with a poetic and introspective quality, going beyond the instant capture to explore the realms of memory, time, and personal connection. In summary, Andy Warhol's Polaroid photography is notable for its iconic subject matter and exploration of color, Stefanie Schneider's work takes Polaroid photography to new depths. Her emphasis on storytelling, emotion, and the transformative power of expired film sets her work apart and showcases her ability to elevate the medium into a realm of contemplation and artistic expression. 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, Foto -Triennale Esslingen, Bombay Beach Biennale. Her work are represented in collections as DZ Bank or LACMA.
