About the Item

STRANGER THAN PARADISE - Monograph - signed by the artist 'Stefanie Schneider' Hardcover Edition, 200 Pages, published by Hatje Canz Verlag, 2006 ISBN 3-7757-1751-X with essays by Mark Gisbourne - Life’s a Dream - The Personal World of Stefanie Schneider Marc Forster - Life Inside Pieces of Graffiti Eugen Blume - Stefanie Schneider: A Discovery on Polaroid The first complete overview of the work by Stefanie Schneider. With over 320 coloured illustrations on 200 pages. This collection of photos is a fascinating experiment - a series of pictures filmic in conception, unified by motifs of the American Southwest as experienced in old film noir about drifters, desert hotels, babes and vagabonds at large. Schneider, a German, absorbed this milieu in old American cinema and studiously arranged these images to appear off-hand, off-beat. Surreal use of expired film adds the element of chance, but also gives the project a gritty seal of authenticity - if these were real people they would have left such an apparently artless record of themselves. There is no script, and none is necessary - a primal tale with ordinary looking people with archetypical histories - they drink, make love in nameless hotels, stalk the desert under blinding sun, dance and carouse, and endlessly move on. The images say more the longer you look at them, calling out from what looks like a perpetual time warp, a liberating illusion of elemental vastness and endless time, with a touching, stark elemental quality that stops just short of banalty. Nothing beats the babes with the crazy wigs & toy squirt guns. (Wildenmut)
