About the Item

Daisy in front of Trailer (Till Death do Us Part) - 2005 Edition 48/50. 30 x 30 cm, Analog C-Print, printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, hand-printed by the artist, based on the Polaroid. Artist inventory 9250. Signature label and certificate. Not mounted. This Edition comes with the vinyl soundtrack of "Till Death do us Part" (directed by Stefanie Schneider and music by Daisy McCrackin). Stefanie Schneider’s Till Death Do Us Part or “There is Only the Desert for You.” Stefanie Schneider’s desert is no more literally real than the absence of any intrusion of the external world in Till Death Do Us Part. The characters seem to have no past or future apart from the immediate—one could say in this regard, hellish— all-present of their exclusive relationship, and the narrated allusions to events that may or may not be real in the imaginary plane the characters inhabit. Within the world of this visual and narrated fiction, there exists for them no opportunity for interaction with anyone but each other, either in person, or by electronic means. Instead, the artist selects all aspects of their condition, even though constituents of the totality of their condition may originate with the actors themselves. Similarly, the artist isolates them from all elements that would fall outside the exclusive domain of their relationship. In this sense, Till Death Do Us Part is not reality, but more than reality’s depiction can achieve through conventional means, it conveys a real sense of what it is like to be a protagonist of such a relationship, to be prey to the strange delusions that so often occur as part of the relationship’s intrinsic condition, the sense that, for the lovers, only they themselves exist, and they exist only for themselves and for each other. The fact that both lovers are women, on the one hand, underscores this exclusivity, and renders them more keenly and apparently reflections of each other. On the other hand, it implies a degree of overt harmony in the work’s formal aspect that itself generates an aesthetic counterpoint to the tension between intention and accident in the work’s conceptual aspect. The effaced death that ends the work reaffirms the sense of oscillation between reality and fantasy that permeates the work. In the end, it is as though the totality of both characters' passion was subsumed by the desert, the stage upon which the artist enacts every mental state she conjures.
