About the Item

'Incitement and Confirmation.' (The Girl behind the White Picket Fence) - 2015 70x90cm Edition of 5, analog C-Print printed on Fuji Archive Paper, hand-printed by the artist, based on the Polaroid, signature label and certificate artist Inventory Nr. 12527.01, Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence Feature Film, Polaroid Still Sequences & Super-8, 78 minutes Voiceover in English, Color In The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence, Stefanie Schneider redefines the boundaries of narrative cinema through her unmistakable visual language—instantly recognizable and impossible to replicate. Shot entirely with expired Polaroid film and interwoven with Super-8 sequences, the film is not so much told as it is dreamed. Faded edges, chemical blooms, and fragmented colors become storytelling tools, speaking the unspeakable. Set in the remote Californian desert, the film follows a young girl in the wake of a profound personal loss. Orphaned and left to her own devices in a vintage Spartan travel trailer, she wanders through the sun-drenched silence, seeking meaning in the remains of a world once filled with family and routine. What emerges is a cinematic monologue—intimate, poetic, and unresolved—rendered in Schneider’s signature aesthetic of beautifully deteriorating film. The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence expands on the themes central to Schneider’s larger body of work: isolation, longing, the myth of the American West, and the intersection of memory and emotion within a shifting physical landscape. Here, the visual artifacts of expired film mirror the imperfections of recollection and the distortions of grief. With nods to diaristic filmmaking and experimental narrative traditions, Schneider’s feature occupies a unique space in contemporary art and cinema. It is a rare thing: an artwork that refuses to explain itself, yet resonates with uncanny emotional clarity. It leaves behind no easy conclusions—only the lingering presence of something felt.
