About the Item

Breaking the Waves 114x142 cm, Edition 1/3. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artists, based on a Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label, artist Inventory No. 133.08. Mounted on Aluminum with matte UV-Protection. Signed on back with Certificate. Ready to hang! published in STRANGER THAN PARADISE, Hatje Cantz Verlag, Ostfildern, 2006, (monograph) exhibited: 2012: Stranger Than Paradise, Christian Hohmann Fine Art, Palms Desert, USA (S) Stefanie Schneider lives and works in the California High Desert and Berlin Stefanie Schneider's scintillating situations take place in the American West. Situated on the verge of an elusive super-reality, her photographic sequences provide the ambience for loosely woven story lines and a cast of phantasmic characters. Schneider works with the chemical mutations of expired polaroid film stock. Chemical explosions of color spreading across the surfaces undermine the photograph's commitment to reality and induce her characters into trance-like dreamscapes. Like flickering sequences of old road movies Schneider's images seem to evaporate before conclusions can be made - their ephemeral reality manifesting in subtle gestures and mysterious motives. Schneider's images refuse to succumb to reality, they keep alive the confusions of dream, desire, fact, and fiction. 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.
