About the Item

Mindscreen 5 (Night on Earth) - 1999 128x126cm, Edition of 5. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on the Polaroid. Signed on verso with Certificate. Artist Inventory No. 246.03. Not mounted. Consider Stefanie Schneider’s photographs as relics from a world trapped in a perpetual state of limbo — where every image is a fragment of an unfolding trial against time itself. These fading, flawed Polaroids are not mere pictures, but witnesses to an unrelenting process of dissolution, where memory and identity blur into a haunting bureaucracy of loss. Explore how her work embodies the alienation of modern existence: the way her decaying film mirrors the decay of meaning and connection, like messages lost in an endless labyrinth of silence. Each fractured color and ghostly shadow is a testament to the futile struggle to hold onto something real in a world ruled by impermanence and uncertainty. Reflect on the oppressive tension between the desire to grasp a moment and the inevitable erosion of that moment’s substance — a Kafkaesque dance of hope and despair caught in the machinery of time. How do these images confront us with the absurdity of clinging to dreams that fade, and with the cold, indifferent void beyond? Your response should evoke the silent dread behind every worn surface, the despair of the unseen and unheard, and the tragic comedy of human longing trapped in a decaying frame. Stefanie Schneider, holding an MFA in Communication Design from Folkwang Schule Essen, Germany, has exhibited her work in prestigious venues such as the Museum for Photography in Braunschweig, Museum für Kommunikation in Berlin, and Les Rencontres d'Arles, among others.

Land & Sea VII (A)
By Colleen Fitzgerald
Located in Sante Fe, NM
Edition of 5 Colleen Fitzgerald's series, "Stamina," provides new approaches to conventional subjects by utilizing the materials and tools of photography in non-traditional ways. A unique physical process combines aspects of sculpture and photography, subverting the idealized two-dimensional photograph and providing a new entry point to the enduring photographic subjects of natural landscapes, seascapes, and more. To create the photographs, unexposed large sheets of positive film are cut and bent into three dimensional shapes before being exposed inside a camera outfitted with a custom film holder that accepts the film as a three-dimensional object instead of as a standard, flat sheet. The results on the shaped film can...
