About the Item

Jane (Heavenly Falls) - 2016 100 x 98 cm, Edition of 10, digital C-Print, based on a Polaroid Artist inventory 19503. Signed on verso and certificate Not mounted. Images 2-5 show the piece mounted in the Instantdreams exhibition at the instantdreams gallery in Berlin, Weissenssee (S), 2016 On the edge of Berlin, in the outer suburb of Weissensee, the artist Stefanie Schneider works in her dream lab factory, producing analog artworks based on the expired Polaroid material she’s been using for over 20 years. Dedicating an entire artistic career on a vanishing medium may seem like a risky dream but the revival of analog is growing. This first show presented by the Instantdreams Gallery has been produced for the documentary “Instant Dreams”. A film about the magic of Polaroid featuring the artist Stefanie Schneider. Last June the team came to California to film Stefanie working on her newest project. In this context Willem filmed Stefanie’s post production in her Berlin studio and next door in the large industrial hall Stefanie’s Instantdreams exhibition for the purpose of achieving immortality in the documentary. Instant Dreams is not your typical documentary. It’s a cinematic essayistic quest for the secret and magical appeal of Polaroid. “Stefanie’s lifelong relationship with instant film is inspiring, her work impressive and fully embodies my vision of this medium and the way I want to portray it in my film... Me choosing the title Instant Dreams is no accident. That’s why I decided that Stefanie will be the artist to be featured in the film and I think that it should be done in a way that not only puts a spotlight onto her work, but adds to the mystique. That, what is in some form illusive, mysterious and magical only makes us crave for more. So in filming how Stefanie creates her work, I will try to capture the elements of her work in the visuals of my film; the day-dream-like quality, power of femininity, subtle eroticism and whole eccentric vibe of the time-less surroundings. Stefanie is a great artist; and I want to portray that greatness in a poetic larger than life fashion.” Willem Baptist 2016 “It was Stefanie Schneider, who inspired me to start the company THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT after seeing her work, which seems to achieve the possible from the impossible, creating the finest of art out of the most basic of mediums and materials. Indeed, after that one day, I was so impressed with her photography that I realized Polaroid film could not be allowed to disappear. Being at the precise moment in time where the world was about to lose Polaroid, I seized the moment and have put all my efforts and passion into saving Polaroid film. For that, I thank Stefanie Schneider almost exclusively, who played a bigger role than anyone in saving this American symbol of photography.” – Dr. Florian Kaps, March 8th 2010 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.
