About the Item

Field of Dreams (Sidewinder), 2005 38.5 x 38 cm, Edition 2/5, analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on an original Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory 3131.10. Not mounted. Field of Dreams (Sidewinder), 2005 is a striking moment of freedom caught mid-air. A man leaps effortlessly over a barbed wire fence, its rusted strands hanging from wooden posts like forgotten reminders of the past. The barbed wire, sharp and unforgiving, contrasts sharply with the fluidity of the man’s motion, symbolizing the barriers—both physical and psychological—that are so often imposed upon us. In that single, suspended moment, he is more than just a person clearing a fence. He is the embodiment of escape. The rawness of the barbed wire and the rough-hewn posts anchor the image in a world of constraints, but the man’s leap represents liberation. He is no longer bound to the earth below him or to the rules of gravity, his youthful agility propelling him toward something greater. The vast field beneath him stretches out endlessly, mirroring the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. The grass sways gently, a peaceful contrast to the hard, unforgiving fence he leaves behind. This openness suggests that, just beyond the barriers, there is always room to run, to explore, to grow. The play of light, perhaps caught in the golden haze of a late afternoon, bathes the scene in a softness that emphasizes the fleeting nature of this moment—one where the struggle of the past is momentarily forgotten in the thrill of pure freedom. The man’s body, taut with effort, is both a symbol of defiance and vitality. This image speaks of youthful triumph—of the strength to push past obstacles, to rise above them, and to feel the exhilaration of life untethered. The barbed wire, once a symbol of limitation, becomes part of a deeper narrative: the understanding that the things which seek to hold us back are often the very things that propel us toward greatness. In this moment, the fence is not just a boundary; it’s an invitation to jump, to run, and to dream. 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.
