About the Item

Margarita Smoke Rings (Till Death do us Part) - 2009 Edition 1/5, 125x154cm. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on a Polaroid. Mounted on Aluminum with matte UV-Protection. Signed on verso with Certificate. Inventory No. 9101.01. Exhibition photos: 29 Palms, CA, Moravian Gallery, (Museum of Applied Arts), Brno, Czech Republic (S) On offer is a piece from the movie: 'Till Death Do Us Part' 'Till death do us part' is one episode of the '29 Palms, CA' project. A film shot on Polaroid stills shown consecutively with voices combined with Super 8 film sequences. Stefanie Schneider's films are a one-off since the material used was original Polaroid film stock which is now extinct. 'Till Death Do Us Part' is the story of two young lovers, lonely souls escaping the abuse of reality into each other. Imagine a stranger suddenly in your path, you can just be silent with, and you feel you have known her forever. This is the experience of Cristal and Margarita, that begins when Cristal picks her up hitchhiking on a lonely desert road. A runaway from a cruel older brother and a broken family, Margarita is searching on the edge of the shadows for a home. Cristal is also a lonely child and already dangerously close to vanishing when she finds Margarita. For her, it is the beginning of life. When she finds Margarita, she finds herself, she feels for the first time and discovers that she is not invisible after all. The childlike, roadside life they make together is a dream that they truly believe will last forever, and with the naive joy of beginners, they dive in, never sensing danger. When two lost souls become one and share everything, do they lose themselves further or do they become whole at last? When a girl has no home, no anchor, can she combine thrive with another? Once a human heart wakes up from isolation for the first time, enchanted by a reflection in love's mirror, can the dreamer fall asleep again, or must she wander searching to find it again forever? An artistic triumph for Schneider, this piece floats deeper into her exploration of the colors of the human psyche, separation, relationship, androgyny and the fringes of social reality. The Californian desert light and the vintage colors of Polaroid create an unforgettable atmosphere in the abandoned trailer park. Austen Tate gives Margarita her voice in poetry and Daisy McCrackin gives Cristal her sound in music.
