About the Item

High Noon - The Getaway (The Last Picture Show) - 1999 50x50cm, Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the original Polaroid. Artist Inventory #348. Signature label and Certificate. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider’s The Get Away is a visceral exploration of rebellion and reinvention, a series that disrupts our notions of freedom and survival in a world where the road is both a promise and a peril. At its heart, the series captures a runaway couple carving their own mythology into the modern West—a landscape as treacherous as it is transformative. Through her signature use of expired Polaroid film, Schneider conjures a cinematic universe drenched in chaos and beauty. The chemical distortions create an atmosphere that is as unpredictable as the characters’ journey. Hazy yellows bleed into the frames like caution lights, and surreal smudges obscure the edges of reality, leaving only fleeting moments of clarity. This is not just the last Polaroid film; it’s the last word in analog photography, each image a relic of a medium that, like her characters, was forced to adapt or die. The series dares us to confront the idea of escape—its allure, its cost, and its ultimate futility. Is freedom a destination, or is it an illusion? As the protagonists navigate a labyrinth of empty highways and desolate beaches, their bond is as fragile as the dream they’re chasing. There’s a raw intimacy in the stolen glances, the hurried footsteps, the way the light fractures around them, refusing to settle. Schneider’s work pushes beyond nostalgia, reframing the Western landscape as a battleground for identity and resistance. Her use of expired film becomes a metaphor for impermanence: the fleeting nature of love, of dreams, of the physical world itself. Yet, within this imperfection lies resilience—a testament to the power of art to outlast its own medium and to challenge the narratives we’ve been told. The Get Away is more than a photographic series; it’s a manifesto for the renegade spirit. It’s a call to embrace the chaos, to rewrite the rules, and to find beauty in the disarray. Schneider doesn’t just capture a story—she dares us to live it.
