About the Item

The Girl (Zuma Beach) - 1999 38x49cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artists Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Signature Label and Certificate. Artist Inventory #20895. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider's "Zuma Beach" series captures the dreamlike essence of a day spent on the sun-kissed shores of California. The images evoke a sense of nostalgia as if they were taken from a lost era of 1960s beach culture. Schneider's use of Polaroid film adds to the vintage feel of the series, with its characteristic soft focus and warm, golden tones. The images in the series range from intimate portraits of sunbathers to expansive landscapes of the beach and ocean. The photographs are imbued with a sense of freedom and joy as if the subjects are completely at ease and in the moment. There is a dreamlike quality to the images as if the viewer is experiencing a hazy memory of a perfect day at the beach. Schneider's use of light is particularly striking in this series, with the bright sun casting a warm glow over everything in its path. The interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and texture as if the viewer can feel the sand between their toes and the salty breeze on their skin. Overall, "Zuma Beach" is a beautiful and evocative series that transports the viewer to a time and place of carefree joy and relaxation. Schneider's masterful use of Polaroid film and her keen eye for capturing the perfect moment make this series a true work of art.

Diana H. Bloomfield "Figurative" Statement I began this ongoing series of my daughter over eighteen years ago. These particular images work as narratives. Alone, or in combination, they have a story to tell. As metaphorical portraits, they suggest the essence of a person, rather than offer any literal interpretation. I like to think of these as visual vignettes that suggest half-remembered, fragmented dream worlds. They borrow from the past, my fugitive and skewed memories of that past, and fleeting moments in time.
