About the Item

Village Motel - Heated Pool (The Last Picture Show) - 2005 58x56cm, Edition of 5, analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist on Fuji Chrystal Archive Paper, based on the Polaroid, artist Inventory No. 1121.01, Mounted on Aluminum with matte UV-Protection. Signed on verso LIFE’S A DREAM Stefanie Schneider's "Village Motel - Heated Pool" from the "The Last Picture Show" project is a captivating exploration of nostalgia, vibrant colors, and the allure of a bygone era. The photograph transports us to a quintessential 1950s scene, where a fluorescent advertising sign takes center stage, casting a mesmerizing glow of red hues upon the surroundings. The sign proudly displays the words "HEATED POOLS," "The VILLAGE MOTEL," and "KITCHENS VACANCY" in a striking composition. The letters are predominantly illuminated in radiant red, while the words "MOTEL" and "VACANCY" glow in crisp white, capturing our attention and indicating available accommodations. The deliberate contrast between the illuminated and unlit letters, particularly the conspicuous "NO" preceding "VACANCY," adds a touch of intrigue, signaling that there are indeed rooms to be rented. The enchanting sky serves as a captivating backdrop, painted in a shade of purple that effortlessly transitions in hues, mirroring the changing dynamics of the scene. From the power lines on one side to the rooftops of neighboring houses below, the shifting tones evoke a sense of transience and evoke a feeling of temporal nostalgia. This photograph, shot on Polaroid film in 2005 by Stefanie Schneider, has been thoughtfully reproduced, enlarged, and expertly mounted on a 58x56 piece of aluminum. The matte UV-Protection ensures the longevity of the artwork, ready to be proudly displayed on the wall of an art enthusiast's space. Schneider's meticulous attention to detail extends to the back of the artwork, where she has personally signed it, noting the year and edition number. In this case, the piece is identified as 1 of 5, emphasizing its exclusivity and collector's value.
