About the Item

Self Portrait (Strange Love) - 2005 20x20cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Signature label and certificate. Artist Inventory No. 6146. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider Strange Love From the 29 Palms, CA Project In Strange Love, Stefanie Schneider turns the aftermath of love into visual poetry. Shot entirely on expired Polaroid film and Super-8 footage, this body of work captures the psychological landscape of unrequited love—where memory becomes artifact and absence takes on a physical form. At the heart of the series is a vanished relationship, refracted through shifting layers of memory, imagination, and emotional truth. Her former lover appears not as one fixed identity, but as a fragmented figure—experienced differently by the artist, by himself, and by others. Each frame becomes a vessel for these multiple, often contradictory versions. Photographs, film stills, and texts converge in Schneider’s signature aesthetic: hazy, sun-bleached, and chemically unpredictable. These are not documents of a past love—they are embodiments of its ghost. The experience of “not-there-ness” becomes the subject itself. In Strange Love, Schneider explores how emotion resists chronology, how feelings outrun fact. The result is a series of works that feel both personal and universal—ephemeral moments made permanent, yet still flickering with mystery.
