About the Item

Dust Bowl Blues (Heavenly Falls) 2016, 20x24cm, Edition 2/10, digital C-Print based on a Polaroid. Certificate and signature label. Artist inventory number: 19651.02 Not mounted Life’s a Dream (The Personal World of Stefanie Schneider) By Mark Gisbourne Stefanie Schneider’s art is an apparition—an image caught between reality and dream, chance and intention. Using expired Polaroid film, she embraces the unpredictable, allowing time, chemistry, and circumstance to shape her narratives. In her world, moments are exposed twice—once by the camera, again by memory—each frame a ghost of what was or could have been. Her images unfold in the hazy landscapes of the American Southwest—motels, highways, gas stations—familiar scenes emptied of certainty, infused with longing. Like echoes of forgotten films, they evoke the alienation of modern life, stripping Hollywood myths down to raw emotion. Chance guides her work, but it’s not random. It’s the existential kind—lived, felt, inevitable. Her characters, whether actresses, friends, or herself, drift through stories without resolution, embodying a world in flux. There’s no beginning or end, only fragments of love, solitude, and fleeting beauty. Schneider’s work is cinematic yet refuses a script. It recalls Lynch’s dreamlike tension, Jarmusch’s quiet detachment, yet remains uniquely her own. She captures the ridiculous sublime—where nostalgia meets absurdity, where the American Dream dissolves into a mirage. Her art does not impose meaning; it invites it. Each faded Polaroid is a whisper, a question, an unfinished sentence. A dream glimpsed before waking.
