About the Item

Prepping the Birth (Suburbia) - 2004 20x24cm, Edition of 10, digital C-Print based on the Polaroid, Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory No. 1672. Not mounted, In the canon of contemporary art, Stefanie Schneider occupies a territory uniquely her own — where film becomes emotion and light becomes memory. Working with expired Polaroid stock, Schneider orchestrates the alchemy of time, atmosphere, and chance, transforming the mechanical process of instant photography into an elegy of impermanence. Her desert tableaux — sunburnt, unraveling — defy classification. They are not photographs in the traditional sense; they are psychic landscapes, imbued with a cinematic tension that recalls Antonioni as much as they do the American road movie. Figures drift through ghost towns and dust-blown motels, their narratives suspended, their gestures unresolved. The dream is never explained — only inhabited. What distinguishes Schneider is not simply her mastery of a disappearing medium, but her refusal to correct or control its decay. The chemical instability of the film is not a flaw, but a collaborator. In embracing entropy, she gives form to what resists permanence: desire, memory, disappearance. Her palette — soft, volatile, fractured — is the chromatic language of longing. Few artists have so convincingly bridged photography and film, past and present, precision and surrender. Schneider’s work does not ask to be understood. It asks to be felt — viscerally, instinctively — like déjà vu, or the moment just before waking. It is no exaggeration to say that Stefanie Schneider has changed how we see, and more importantly, how we remember seeing. 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, Bombay Beach Biennale 2018, 2019.

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...
