Expanses of Time (Wastelands) - Polaroid, Expired. Contemporary, Color

2003

About the Item

Expanses of Time (Wastelands) - 2003 Edition of 10, 38x37cm, Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory No 1193.01 Not mounted. Gaze upon Stefanie Schneider’s photographs as if they were delicate fragments of a fleeting consciousness — moments suspended in the ever-flowing river of time, where memory and perception intertwine like whispers caught between breaths. These images, fragile and worn, carry the weight of impermanence not as loss alone, but as the very texture of existence itself. Consider how each faded hue, each bleeding edge of color, reveals the trembling life beneath—a quiet longing, a soft ache that resists closure. Her work does not capture reality in its fullness, but rather the elusive traces left behind: the half-remembered dreams, the lingering shadows of absence, the subtle play of light on a surface that is never quite whole. Reflect on the way her photographs mirror the mind’s own fragile architecture, where past and present collide and the self is a fragile, shifting thing. In their imperfect impermanence, they invite us to dwell in the delicate space between presence and loss — to feel the bittersweet intimacy of moments lived and lost, endlessly returning as echoes in the heart’s private chambers. How does Schneider’s art gently hold the viewer in that fragile, shimmering in-between, where love, despair, and loneliness softly intertwine—where life’s transience is not simply mourned, but tenderly embraced? 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, Bombay Beach Biennale. Her work are represented in collections as DZ Bank or LACMA.
