About the Item

'Hunting' from the movie Immaculate Springs - 1998 Edition of 5, 58x56cm, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on an expired Polaroid. Signature Label and Certificate. Artist inventory Number 170. Not mounted. From the never released movie 'Immaculate Springs' starring Udo Kier and Jacinda Barrett That’s a compelling quote — "If you want to learn what someone fears losing, watch what they photograph." When applied to Stefanie Schneider’s work, it reveals a rich undercurrent of longing, fragility, and the ache of impermanence. Schneider's Polaroids are drenched in the ephemeral: sun-bleached deserts, abandoned motels, half-glimpsed lovers, wistful stares, and dreamlike stillness. These are not just aesthetic choices — they are emotional records. What she photographs — fleeting light, transient beauty, broken timelines — suggests a fear of losing time itself, along with memory, youth, love, and emotional connection. Her use of expired Polaroid film isn’t nostalgic for the sake of style — it’s a deliberate act of preservation in the face of decay. The film is already breaking down, much like the moments she captures. But instead of resisting that, she embraces it. There’s a tender defiance in her images: If I photograph it now — even as it fades — I can keep it alive a little longer. In that sense, Stefanie may fear losing: Authentic emotional connection, seen in her raw, unguarded portraits. The California dream, which in her work is always both seductive and slipping away. The past, not as it was, but as it felt. Intimacy, in all its forms — romantic, familial, or even self-reflective. Each photograph is like a fragile spell cast against forgetting. They’re not about preserving perfection — they’re about holding onto what’s real, even when it’s broken or about to vanish.
