About the Item

Riviera (Malibu) - 2004 50x50cm. Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Artist inventory Number 668. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider’s work feels like the spiritual lovechild of Zabriskie Point and a box of expired Polaroid film—equal parts rebellious nostalgia and sun-bleached poetry. Antonioni’s film captured the desert as a stage for youthful idealism and existential musings, and Schneider picks up that baton like an artist with a time machine (and a cheeky disregard for the idea of “perfect” photographs). The desert, for Schneider, is not just a backdrop; it’s a character with a personality disorder. One minute, it’s serene and ethereal; the next, it’s smudged with mystery and longing, much like Antonioni’s stark landscapes. Both use the emptiness of the desert to fill the viewer’s imagination with questions: Who are these people? Why are they here? And is that an aesthetic choice or a happy accident? Where Zabriskie Point gave us the smoldering chemistry of Daria Halprin and Mark Frechette, Schneider gifts us her own gallery of enigmatic muses. They linger in hazy stillness, caught somewhere between Hollywood glamour and small-town secrets. And let’s be honest—if Antonioni could have shot on Polaroid film, he probably would have loved it too. The unpredictable texture of it seems custom-made for his languid, dreamlike pacing. The echoes between Schneider’s photographs and Antonioni’s masterpiece create a delightful harmony. Both are time capsules of their respective eras, but they also transcend time, leaving us with a gentle reminder: life is messy, fleeting, and occasionally sunburned—but that’s what makes it art. 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 2018.
