About the Item

Waiting III (Sidewinder) 2005 60x140cm, including white frame, Edition of 10, Archival C-Print, based on the 10 Polaroids. Signature label and Certificate. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider: A German view of the American West The works of Stefanie Schneider evoke Ed Ruscha's obsession with the American experience, the richness of Georgia O'Keefe's deserts and the loneliness of Edward Hopper's haunting paintings. So how exactly did this German photographer become one of the most important artists of the American narrative of the 20th and 21st century? "I am more than delighted to attest to Stefanie Schneider's trailblazing work that has changed the face of photography forever. Do you believe in love at first sight? I do - ever since I saw Stefanie Schneider's artwork in a gallery in Hamburg, Germany. Never before have images drawn me in so immediately, affected me so profoundly, nor kept me so relentlessly under their spell. Never before have I sensed such a harmonious, quiet and yet mutually nourishing relationship between an artist and the medium that is an American icon: Polaroid film. Stefanie has taken Polaroid photography to the highest level of attention and acclaim of any photographer in history, breaking new ground we never thought imaginable. No one before has utilized Polaroid film to such a degree, elevating it into the realm of pure fine art. It’s not an exaggeration to state that meeting Stefanie and seeing her exceptional work has changed my life forever, and was the catalyst that moved me to save Polaroid film when I had thoughts of shutting down production a few years ago. Indeed, she nearly single-handedly saved an industry and a filmic medium. That’s the sort of influence she has in her field. In the years that followed my fateful decision inspired by the work of Ms. Schneider, Stefanie's stunning works have not only touched our own analog souls; her incredible ongoing worldwide success and growing exposure has also given a very clear signal that the time is now to collect, treasure and inhale the mysterious magic of Polaroid art. Several weeks after first meeting her work, I had a chance to meet Stefanie in person and discovered that each of her intensive Polaroid images form part of an ambitious and extraordinary master plan - the largest Polaroid art project of all time: a full-length film almost completely made out of Polaroid materials and images called "29 Palms, CA." Immediately upon learning this, we started collecting expired film from all over the planet to support her vision. In return, Stefanie Schneider has allowed us to showcase a very special and lovingly composed collection of limited edition prints of her latest Polaroid shots and personal favorites at Polanoir, our Polaroid Gallery known throughout the world. Today at Polanoid, now better known as THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT, we continue our fight against the downfall of Polaroid film and the closing of their facilities, hopes of keeping American jobs in addition to keeping viable a truly American-invented film stock like Polaroid, which has touched so many millions of lives throughout the years. We now call Polanoid ‘The Impossible Project' because many said it would be impossible to save Polaroid film. Hearing this, I recalled the words of Edward Land, the inventor of Polaroid film, who said the only projects worth attempting are something that is said to be “impossible.” Which again brings us back to Ms. Schneider, who inspired me to start this company THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT after seeing her work, which seems to achieve the possible from the impossible, creating the finest of art out of the most basic of mediums and materials. Indeed, after that one day, I was so impressed with her photography that I realized Polaroid film could not be allowed to disappear. Being at the precise moment in time where the world was about to lose Polaroid, I seized the moment and have put all my efforts and passion into saving Polaroid film. For that, I thank Stefanie Schneider almost exclusively, who played a bigger role than anyone in saving this American symbol of photography. Florian Kapps / founding President of Impossible Inc. March 8th 2010 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.

A photograph issue of the Collaboration between the photographer, the invited artist and the model. This artwork is offered in 3 sizes. The price of the artwork increases with the edition. Please contact us to inquire about the current edition number, availability, and price. Size 1: 86 x 59 inches Size 2: 65 x 43 inches Size 3: 45 x 30 inches THE PAINTERS PROJECT Works by Eric Ceccarini Eric Ceccarini’s work is available in editions of 9 or 18, the price of the artwork is based on the edition number and size. This artwork is a photograph mounted to aluminum, with a UV protective lamination film to the front and set in a wood black float frame. Extensive, both in time and scope; Eric Ceccarini’s The Painters Project is an ongoing collaboration with painters, sculptors and visual artists. Ceccarini invites selected artists and pairs them with some of the very best models he has enjoyed working with during his editorial career. This unorthodox partnership gives birth to wonderful and often surprising creations. The artist brings his creative universe, techniques, and palette; the model brings their personality and body language; interaction is key to the process. The temporary nature of the painting on human skin is captured and preserved through Ceccarini’s lens to create the photographic artwork. Together, the body, the pose, and the art become one for a brief moment. Ceccarini manages to blend the distinct viewpoints of different disciplines and artsistic minds and to mix various instruments, tools and angles. Ceccarini also sets himself apart from others by shunning technical artifice and working in natural light outside the studio. This results in soft, velvety, almost painterly images that amaze. For a number of these artists the project offers them a step in the dark, an escape into unknown territory. They must settle into a new environment with unfamiliar light, unusual shadows and highlights. The traditional canvas is replaced by a person: three dimensional, alive, warm, breathing and sentient. Movements and poses influence their strokes, they must discover, adapt and ultimately understand this canvas with their brush. More than hundred meetings have already taken place with artists from the UK, Uruguay, Mauritius, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, the US, China, Venezuela, Russia and many other countries all across the globe. Erik is a Belgian artist born in 1965. He gained a degree in photography from infac, Brussels in 1987. After a successful career as a fashion photographer for many luxury houses he concentrated on his artistic work.
