About the Item

OK Corral (Stranger than Paradise), triptych - 1999 Edition of 10, each 58 x 56 cm, together with gaps 58x185cm, 3 analog C-Prints, hand-printed by the artist on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, matte surface, based on the 3 Polaroids. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory 318.05. Not mounted. "Ok Coral" is a striking triptych that captures a raw and escalating tension through its portrayal of a solitary man with a rifle. The progressive closeness in each frame creates an unsettling sense of inevitability, drawing the viewer into a psychological progression. The character's expression, especially in the final image, reflects the complexity of his emotions—fear, power, and stress all blend together, revealing his vulnerability and his fragile grip on control. The rifle, though not prominent, remains a subtle symbol of both protection and aggression, adding weight to the character's internal conflict. The golden, chaotic chemical effects surrounding the images amplify the emotional volatility, as if the environment itself is mirroring the man's inner turmoil. The wild unpredictability of the medium seems to echo the uncontrollable forces he faces, whether external or within himself. This work could be compared to some of the intense character studies seen in films like The Deer Hunter, where psychological tension plays out in an environment that feels at once familiar and hauntingly alien. The quiet, raw intensity of the man’s gaze, combined with the surreal atmosphere of the piece, evokes a sense of impending fate, of a moment caught just before an explosion. It’s a moment of crisis that feels both personal and universal—one that challenges the viewer to grapple with the fragility of the human experience in times of turmoil. 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, DZ Bank Kunstsammlung, Bombay Beach Biennale, DZ Bank Collection, Frankfurt.
