About the Item

Fairy (Heavenly Falls) - 2016, 50x50cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print based on the Polaroid. Certificate and signature label. Artist inventory number: 19719. Not mounted. The second image shows the Instant Dreams movie poster. The poster is not part of the sale. We are living through a time of uncertainty, division, and emotional exhaustion. The world feels increasingly unstable—politically, socially, even personally. In the midst of it all, we search for something solid to hold on to. But what if we accepted that instability is part of the human condition? The images in this exhibition reflect that truth. Made with expired Polaroid film, they carry the marks of imperfection—chemical unpredictability, fading colors, moments slipping out of reach. They are not manipulated. They are simply exposed. And in that exposure, they reveal something honest: our memories, our traumas, our joys—they are never as clear or fixed as we’d like them to be. We’ve been taught to seek resolution, to move past pain, to tidy up the narrative. But life doesn’t work that way. Memory distorts. Grief lingers. Healing is nonlinear. These images don’t offer easy answers—they ask us to sit with the blur, the cracks, the spaces where meaning once was or might still be. In a culture obsessed with perfection, control, and permanence, this work suggests another way of seeing. It asks us to recognize the beauty in impermanence, to find meaning in what is broken or incomplete. To remember, not with precision, but with presence. Because to remember—especially now—is an act of resistance. It is how we stay human. How we stay connected. And maybe, how we begin to find our way through. 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.
