About the Item

Radha doing her Nails by the Pool (29 Palms, CA) - 1999 126x125cm, Edition of 5, analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on a Polaroid, Certificate and Signature label, artist Inventory # 618. Not mounted. published in STRANGER THAN PARADISE, Hatje Cantz Verlag, Ostfildern, 2006, (monograph). Radha Doing Her Nails by the Pool (29 Palms, CA) - 1999 is a striking piece that captures a quiet moment of personal reflection against the expansive desert backdrop of 29 Palms. In this photograph, Stefanie Schneider’s characteristic use of expired Polaroid film brings a soft, dreamlike quality to the scene, with vibrant yet muted tones that evoke both nostalgia and a sense of timelessness. Radha, the subject, is seen seated by a pool, meticulously painting her nails, a simple yet intimate act that contrasts with the vast, empty landscape surrounding her. The interplay between the mundane and the extraordinary in this image speaks to Schneider's unique ability to infuse everyday moments with a sense of cinematic weight. The composition draws the viewer in, inviting them to contemplate the space between isolation and self-care, the connection between personal ritual and the broader, often harsh, world. Schneider’s signature imperfect aesthetic—the slight chemical distortions in the film and the subtle blurring of light—enhances the surreal quality of the scene, blurring the line between reality and dream. The piece stands as a meditation on stillness, solitude, and the often unnoticed beauty in the quiet moments of life.
