About the Item

'Penelope' from the movie Immaculate Springs - 1998 58x57cm, Edition of 5, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on a Polaroid. Signature Label and Certificate. Artist inventory Number 160. Not mounted. This particular image, taken from the never-released movie, Immaculate Springs, encapsulates a moment of intense intimacy and psychological depth. The photograph is a close-up of actress Jacinda Barrett, drawing the viewer’s attention to the subtle nuances of her expression. Her eyes—perhaps a window to the soul in this frame—are charged with emotion, yet it’s unclear whether those emotions are ones of vulnerability, strength, or something in between. The beauty of this piece lies in its ambiguity, inviting the viewer to search for meaning, to interpret the rawness of the moment and the layers of complexity embedded within the image. The stark closeness of the portrait feels almost intrusive, but it also evokes empathy. The viewer is allowed no distance, no space to hide, and as a result, becomes connected to the emotional landscape of the subject. Jacinda's face fills the frame, emphasizing every detail: the curve of her lips, the tension in her brow, the slightest shift in her gaze. It’s as though she is caught in a fleeting moment of self-reflection or perhaps internal conflict, making this simple portrait all the more powerful. What’s fascinating about the context of this photograph, taken from Immaculate Springs, is its relationship to the film itself. Despite the film’s never having been released, this image becomes a narrative in itself, a piece of an unspoken story, where the absence of the film only amplifies the allure of the photograph. The context remains mysterious—what was Jacinda's character experiencing in that moment? What were the emotions behind the eyes that gaze out at the viewer? The unavailability of the complete narrative creates a sense of yearning, a desire to understand what is left unsaid. In this sense, the photograph stands as a visual metaphor for the film's own unfinished story—haunting and compelling in its incompleteness. Stefanie Schneider's choice to capture such an intimate and charged moment speaks to her ability to distill complex emotions into a single frame. The lack of the broader context forces the viewer to focus solely on the subject, on the fragility and power conveyed through Jacinda's expression, creating a unique tension between the image’s beauty and its unresolved story. It's an invitation to contemplate, to question what we see, and to explore the vast landscape of emotions that a single image can evoke. The photograph, in its close-up intensity, emphasizes the tension between revealing and concealing. There’s something inherently powerful in the way it holds back, not giving the viewer the whole picture, yet pulling them in deeper. Immaculate Springs, through this image, may never tell its full story, but it leaves us with a lingering impression, one that speaks volumes through its silence.
