About the Item

Kirsten Red Lips 114x142 cm, Edition 1/3, analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artists, based on the Polaroid. Mounted on Aluminum with matte UV-Protection. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory No. 145.08. In Kirsten Red Lips (California Blue Screen), Stefanie Schneider distills the essence of California’s sun-drenched mystique into a single, mesmerizing frame. The subject locks eyes with the viewer in an unflinching gaze, her red lips a striking contrast against the ethereal blue sky that envelops her. To the side, a lone palm tree stands at a distance, its presence both grounding and surreal, like a prop in an unfinished dream. This piece is a study in contrasts—closeness and detachment, vibrancy and decay, immediacy and nostalgia. The warmth of the California sun seeps through the expired Polaroid film, softening the edges while deepening the emotional weight. The title, California Blue Screen, alludes to Hollywood’s artifice, yet nothing here is staged beyond the reality Schneider conjures through her lens. The image feels both cinematic and deeply personal, an intimate confrontation with time and identity. As with much of Schneider’s work, the photograph is not just an image but an open-ended narrative. The subject’s direct gaze resists interpretation, meeting the viewer with quiet confidence. Is she searching, challenging, or simply existing in this moment of frozen light? That ambiguity, the space between what is revealed and what remains unknown, is what makes Kirsten Red Lips (California Blue Screen) so compelling. 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.
