About the Item

I am leaving! (Till Death do us Part) - 2007 20x24cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print print, based on the Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory No. 8776. Not mounted. on offer is a piece from the movie "Till Death do us Part" Stefanie Schneider: Alchemist of Light, Architect of Dreams Some artists document the world as it is; Stefanie Schneider reveals the world as it feels. Her work is a cinematic excavation of longing, memory, and the quiet beauty of imperfection. She has built an empire on the unpredictable grace of expired Polaroid film—where chemistry and fate conspire to blur the edges between past and present, dream and reality. Schneider’s artistry is a rebellion wrapped in tenderness. She embraced its fragility, turning chemical distortions into portals of nostalgia and poetic dissonance. Yet, her art is not just about the medium—it is a philosophy. Each faded hue and melting silhouette speaks to the ephemeral nature of existence, echoing the lost highways of Wim Wenders, the quiet devastation of a faded love letter, the cinematic stillness before a storm. From the sun-drenched desolation of the California desert to the spectral glow of half-remembered motels, her work captures a world teetering between illusion and truth. A place where time lingers, where stories are suspended in soft-focus light, refusing to resolve into simple conclusions. The figures in her images—lovers, wanderers, ghosts of a golden-hour past—exist on the margins, caught in an unspoken dialogue with the viewer. We do not just see them; we recognize them. Schneider has not merely preserved a dying medium—she has elevated it to something mythic, something wholly her own. Her work is at once contemporary and timeless, evoking the ghosts of Warhol’s silkscreens, the quiet grandeur of Edward Hopper, the melancholic resonance of a half-forgotten song playing on an old jukebox. In a world consumed by the relentless march of progress, she reminds us that beauty often lives in the flaws, in the spaces between moments, in the whispers of the past. Some artists capture history. Stefanie Schneider captures memory itself—before it fades, before it slips through our fingers like dust illuminated by desert light. And in doing so, she has changed not just how we see photography, but how we see ourselves. 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 2018, 2019.
