About the Item

Dusk (The last Picture Show) - 2005 Edition of 5, 38x36cm each, installed with gaps 124x118cm, analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, based on the 9 Polaroids. Certificate and signature label. Inventory No. 1111.02. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider doesn’t take photographs. She makes moments — faded, saturated, sometimes a little broken, like memories you try to relive but can’t quite touch. And maybe that’s the point. Her world isn't about capturing what's real — it's about lingering in the afterglow, in the image of what once was, or maybe never was, but felt true enough to keep. Her process is analog, old-school, deliberately slow in a time where everything moves too fast to mean anything. She waits for light. She collaborates with chance. She invites the mistakes in — lets the chemistry misbehave, lets the Polaroid emulsions bleed their own story. Imperfection isn’t a flaw here, it’s the aesthetic. It’s what makes the work matter. There’s a kind of cult glamour to her figures — sun-struck girls in the desert, lovers paused in motel rooms, faces fading into glare. You think you’ve seen them before, but you haven’t. They aren’t pretending. They’re just there, being — wistful, bored, radiant, lost. They don’t need to be explained. They’re like a great pop song: simple on the surface, devastating underneath. Everything is a little lonely in her universe, but not in a sad way. More like — cosmically lonely. Beautifully lonely. Like a party that’s almost over, or a love affair you didn’t want to end. There’s a sense that the film remembers more than we do, that it holds onto something we dropped years ago and never looked back at. And now here it is, glowing at us. Schneider’s work understands the power of nostalgia — not the fake kind, but the real ache of it. And it packages that ache in pinks, yellows, washed-out whites. The glamour of fading. The fame of disappearing. These pictures won’t last forever, and neither will we. But for now, they shine. She makes you feel like even your most quiet, cracked, wasted moments could be iconic — if you just saw them in the right light. 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.

By Colleen Fitzgerald
Located in Sante Fe, NM
Edition of 5 Colleen Fitzgerald's series, "Stamina," provides new approaches to conventional subjects by utilizing the materials and tools of photography in non-traditional ways. A unique physical process combines aspects of sculpture and photography, subverting the idealized two-dimensional photograph and providing a new entry point to the enduring photographic subjects of natural landscapes, seascapes, and more. To create the photographs, unexposed large sheets of positive film are cut and bent into three dimensional shapes before being exposed inside a camera outfitted with a custom film holder that accepts the film as a three-dimensional object instead of as a standard, flat sheet. The results on the shaped film can...
