About the Item

Await (The Girl behind the White Picket Fence) - 2013 50x60cm, Edition of 10, Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory #13084. Not mounted. Offered is a piece from the movie: The Girl behind the White Picket Fence Stefanie Schneider distills emotion into image, memory into light. Rather than documenting the world, she reveals how it feels—sun-bleached, fragmented, tender. Working with expired Polaroid film, her photographs are alchemical: equal parts chemistry and chance, where flaws become poetry and imperfection becomes truth. Her desert dreamscapes—populated by lovers, loners, and ghosts—exist in a cinematic in-between, suspended between past and present, longing and loss. Through her faded palettes and melting silhouettes, Schneider doesn’t just preserve a dying medium—she transforms it. Her work echoes Hopper’s stillness, Wenders’ roads, and the melancholy of forgotten songs, yet it’s entirely her own. In capturing what fades, she leaves us with something enduring: not a photograph of a moment, but the memory of one.

The Girl III (The Girl behind the White Picket Fence) - Contemporary, Polaroid
By Stefanie Schneider
Located in Morongo Valley, CA
The Girl III (The Girl behind the White Picket Fence) - 2013 38x36cm, Edition 1/10. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist on Fuji Archive Crystal Paper, matte surface, based on the Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory # 15705.01. Not mounted. Schneider harnesses the unpredictable chemical mutations of expired Polaroid film, where bursts of color erupt across the surface, destabilizing the photograph's traditional allegiance to reality. These vivid distortions draw her characters into ethereal, trance-like dreamscapes. Like fleeting sequences from a vintage road movie, Schneider’s images shimmer with a transitory quality, dissolving before any definitive conclusions can be drawn. Their ephemeral essence is conveyed through subtle gestures and enigmatic motives. Refusing to yield to the constraints of reality, Schneider’s work keeps alive a delicate interplay of dream, desire, fact, and fiction, blurring the boundaries between them with poetic ambiguity. Stefanie Schneider’s work echoes the heart of American art, channeling the cinematic nostalgia of Ed Ruscha’s roadscapes, the stark sensuality of Georgia O’Keeffe’s deserts, and the haunting solitude of Edward Hopper’s paintings...
