About the Item

'Hans' from the movie Immaculate Springs - 1998 Edition of 10, 20x30cm, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on a Polaroid. Signature Label and Certificate. Artist inventory Number 18272. Not mounted. from the movie 'Immaculate Springs' starring Udo Kier and Jacinda Barrett Stefanie Schneider: A Half-Forgotten Dream, Still Unfolding The chemicals bloom, not quite obedient, but familiar. Stefanie Schneider knows them well—how the Polaroids bruise under the desert sun, how the colors bleed out like old memories, how the ghosts of the film’s past life seep into its present. It is not chance, not accident, not some fluke of expired film. It is time itself, arrested mid-motion, yet refusing to hold still. Born by the sea, she fled inland. From the damp winds of Cuxhaven to the scorched open spaces of California. Germany had its walls—real and imagined—while the desert had only distance. It had promise and exile in equal measure. She chose it as her canvas, or maybe it chose her. For decades now, Schneider has been unraveling this dream—half memory, half prophecy—through the language of faded film. She shoots in heat, in dust, in the fading light of a world that always seems on the verge of slipping away. Her frames are filled with longing: a woman half-turned, a motel at the end of the world, a road stretching toward some unfinished sentence. The film, always fickle, responds in kind, warping, resisting, adding its own story to the one she set out to tell. Time, in her work, is not linear. It stutters, it loops. It forgets where it was going and doubles back. There are echoes—films she made long ago that still breathe, characters who refuse to settle into the past, projects abandoned but never quite gone. The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence waits at the edges of the frame, a whisper from another era. A film, yes, but also a relic, a ghost that insists on being seen. Schneider does not rush. She lets the work speak when it is ready, lets the Polaroids sit in their imperfection, lets the film decay with dignity. This is not nostalgia—nostalgia is safe, a polished thing, neatly arranged on a shelf. Schneider’s world is raw, unkempt, trembling with something just out of reach. And here she is, still at it. The exhibitions, the books, the never-quite-finished projects, the silent conversations between past and present. A career not measured in milestones, but in moments—frozen, melting, waiting to be remembered. A half-forgotten dream, still unfolding.
