About the Item

Radha at Fence (29 Palms, CA) - 1999 featuring Radha Mitchell 60x58cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Analog C-Print, hand-printed and enlarged by the artist, based on the Polaroid. Certificate and signature label. Artist inventory 923. Not mounted. Her photographs are not simply taken; they are summoned — conjured from sun-bleached deserts, expired film, and fleeting performances. There is intention, yes — staging, casting, choreography — but also surrender. The film might falter, the colors might bleed, the faces might blur. And in this surrender, something else emerges: a trembling truth that no perfection could ever reach. Each image is a meeting that will never happen again. What we witness in her work is a series of moments on the edge of vanishing — unrepeatable, tender, volatile. She invites entropy as a collaborator, allowing time itself to smudge the surface. The result is not nostalgia, not irony, but the ache of presence slipping away. Her world is one where nothing holds — and everything matters because of it. And here begins the strange tale — not one of grand gestures or neat conclusions, but of trembling moments caught between heartbeats. Like a whispered confession in a darkened room, these images comfort but also unsettle. The photographs are liminal spaces where the familiar twists into something uncanny: faces half-seen, shadows that refuse to settle, colors bleeding like old wounds. They echo the quiet desperation of a village that time forgot, where the soul’s longings are tangled with loneliness so thick it clings like dust. Schneider’s world is one where love is a ghost that lingers long after the living have gone. It is a love that stumbles, falters, and bleeds — awkward and aching, human in all its flawed beauty. Her work does not lie in wait for you to understand; it thrusts itself into your chest and demands you feel. The ache of absence, the stubborn pulse of memory, the cold fire of longing — all tangled in a stubborn refusal to be forgotten. This is not the soft fading of things past. It is the stubborn, restless flicker of something alive beneath the ash. Her images hold us there — in the unbearable weight of being both seen and unseen, held and abandoned, lost and found. And in that unbearable stillness, we catch a glimpse of ourselves — fragile, flawed, and fiercely, desperately human. 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.
