About the Item

Untitled (Into the Sun) - 2001 48x47cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory No. 1329. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider’s Into the Sun project brings a contemporary lens to the enduring allure of the outlaw archetype, presenting a visual narrative rich in tension, introspection, and the moral ambiguities of living outside the law. The project’s recurring motif of a cowboy figure navigating the desert calls to mind the timeless challenges faced by those living on the margins of society. Schneider’s character becomes a symbol of freedom and rebellion, confronting not only external threats but also the existential weight of his own choices. The interplay of vast, empty spaces with the figure’s purposeful stride captures the tension between survival and surrender, autonomy and isolation. Schneider’s signature expired Polaroid aesthetic enhances this narrative by blurring the boundaries of time and place. The imperfections in the film mirror the psychological and physical toll of life on the edge, where the rules are self-made, and every decision carries both promise and peril. The pastel yellow mist enveloping the figure feels both oppressive and liberating, an atmospheric reflection of the liminal space outlaws inhabit: between civilization and wilderness, morality and necessity, life and legend. Through Into the Sun, Schneider doesn’t just illustrate the cowboy’s plight; she invites us to reflect on the universal human struggle with freedom, morality, and belonging. Her work challenges viewers to confront their own unseen obstacles and ask: How far would we go to define our own path, and at what cost? This is the power of Schneider’s art—it resonates not just as an image but as an introspective journey, a duel with our own unseen forces. 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.
