About the Item

'Nude in Pink', (Strange Love) - 2010 48x47cm, Edition of 5, analog C-Print printed on Fuji Archive Paper, hand-printed by the artist based on the Polaroid, signature label and certificate, artist Inventory No. 6562.01, Not mounted. Shown is a piece of Stefanie Schneider's project 'Strange Love' the sub story of 29 Palms, CA Love, lost and unrequited leaves its mark in our lives as a senseless pain that has no place in the present. The ex lover experiences the residues of love as an amputee experiences the sensation of a ghost limb. It is the tangible experience of “absence” that has inspired this piece. And it is using the nuances of memory and imagination that I have chosen to explore my relationships with my lover, as he represented himself, as I experienced him and as he was experienced by others... 'strange love' is based on the story of Lance (The Smoke Jumper), Eva (alias Fia) und Stefanie (alias Stella, alias Stevie) who were entangled in a ménage à trois. The project relates to real time events and reflects on love, sexuality, communication between men and women, and perception. The story has been reenacted, reinvented, rendered independently. strange_love_2004 has been developed parallel to 29 Palms, CA. Schneider works with the chemical mutations of expired Polaroid film stock. Chemical explosions of color spreading across the surfaces undermine the photograph's commitment to reality and induce her characters into trance-like dreamscapes. Like flickering sequences of old road movies Schneider's images seem to evaporate before conclusions can be made - their ephemeral reality manifesting in subtle gestures and mysterious motives. Schneider's images refuse to succumb to reality, they keep alive the confusions of dream, desire, fact, and fiction. Stefanie Schneider's Polaroid photography and Andy Warhol's Polaroid photography both hold significance in the realm of instant photography, but they exhibit distinct approaches and contributions to the medium. Andy Warhol is renowned for his experimentation with Polaroid photography, particularly through his exploration of celebrity portraits and his innovative use of color, Stefanie Schneider's work takes the medium even further in terms of depth and narrative. Schneider's Polaroid photographs go beyond capturing surface aesthetics. She delves into the realm of storytelling and evokes a strong sense of emotion through her compositions. By utilizing expired film and embracing its inherent imperfections, Schneider creates a dreamy and nostalgic quality in her images. Her work often explores themes of longing, loneliness, and the passage of time, inviting viewers to engage with the narratives she presents. In this sense, Schneider's Polaroid photography transcends the medium itself and becomes a vehicle for introspection and contemplation. Warhol's Polaroid photographs have their own artistic merit, often capturing iconic figures and embracing the pop art aesthetic, they tend to emphasize the surface and the iconic status of the subjects. Warhol's approach is more focused on the immediate visual impact rather than delving into deeper narratives or emotions. In terms of pushing the boundaries of Polaroid photography, Stefanie Schneider's work can be seen as a more significant progression. Her use of expired film, combined with her attention to composition, lighting, and vintage aesthetics, creates a distinct and immersive experience for viewers. She expands the possibilities of Polaroid photography by infusing it with a poetic and introspective quality, going beyond the instant capture to explore the realms of memory, time, and personal connection. In summary, Andy Warhol's Polaroid photography is notable for its iconic subject matter and exploration of color, Stefanie Schneider's work takes Polaroid photography to new depths. Her emphasis on storytelling, emotion, and the transformative power of expired film sets her work apart and showcases her ability to elevate the medium into a realm of contemplation and artistic expression. 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. Her work are represented in collections as DZ Bank or LACMA.
