1999

About the Item

Star 80 (Back in the 80's) - 1999 48x46cm, Edition of 10. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist, based on a Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory #575. Not mounted. A bold presence, a fleeting memory—Star 80 (Back in the 80s) radiates the untamed energy of a decade steeped in excess, ambition, and illusion. The subject, unmistakable in her intensity, confronts the viewer with a gaze that is both knowing and enigmatic. She is a vision of confidence, her features captured in the hazy, dreamlike hues of expired Polaroid film. Stefanie Schneider’s signature aesthetic transforms this moment into something beyond time—both an artifact of the past and a reinvention of nostalgia. The title Star 80 nods to the darker undercurrents of Hollywood mythology, where glamour and tragedy often intertwine. Yet here, the figure resists the weight of expectation; she owns the frame, embodying a spirit that is uncontained, unapologetic. Shot in 1999, the piece carries the echoes of a decade long gone while remaining eerily present. The film’s unpredictable chemical shifts mirror the impermanence of stardom itself—a perfect parallel for a face that is at once iconic and elusive. It is a portrait not just of a woman, but of an era, suspended between memory and reinvention.
