About the Item

'Penelope' from the movie Immaculate Springs - 1998 Edition of 5, 58x56cm, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on a Polaroid. Signature Label and Certificate. Artist inventory Number 165. Not mounted. from the 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.

Untitled (Leah)
By Joshua Lutz
Located in New York, NY
Digital C-print (Edition of 10) Signed, dated, and numbered, verso 30 x 35.5 inches, sheet 22 x 27 inches, image This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Please note that prices increase as editions sell. Joshua Lutz is an American artist working with large-format photography and video. Lutz began photographing the Meadowlands ten years ago as a a documentary study of the 32-square-miles of marshy wilderness that sits between New Jersey and New York (while ostensibly searching for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa). Over the years, however, this project evolved into a compelling artistic exploration, revealing the soul of this liminal space. Lutz was given his first solo exhibition at Gitterman Gallery during the summer of 2004. In 2008, “Meadowlands,” was published as Lutz's first book, with powerHouse Books. In essayist Robert Sullivan’s introduction to the monograph, he describes the Meadowlands as “. . .that giant swath of swamp and space that separates New Jersey from New York City, or, put another way, from New York City and the rest of the United States of America.” “The New Yorker” wrote: “Joshua Lutz takes the New Topographics...
