Stefanie Schneider
Untitled (Traintracks) - based on the Polaroid

2004

About the Item

Untitled (Traintracks) - The last Picture Show - 2004 78x77cm. Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory No. 1073. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider’s work is about the quiet moments that slip through the cracks of everyday life. It’s not polished, it’s not perfect — it’s raw and fragile, like memory itself. She uses old Polaroid film that’s already breaking down, so the images carry the marks of time, decay, and chance. This isn’t a flaw; it’s a deliberate choice. The imperfections make the photos feel alive, like they’re breathing with history and emotion. Her subjects — often people in simple, isolated scenes — aren’t posed for glamour or drama. They’re caught in between action and stillness, somewhere between presence and absence. It’s like looking through a window into a world that’s both familiar and strange, where everyday reality blends with fleeting dreams. Her art asks you to slow down and accept imperfection as normal, even beautiful. It holds up a mirror to the way life really is — messy, uncertain, full of loss but also stubborn hope. In a world rushing forward, Schneider’s photos remind us that there’s value in pause, in the broken, in the half-remembered. In short, her work is about holding space for the in-between moments — the fragile, the overlooked, the quietly profound. It’s a love letter to impermanence, and an invitation to see the poetry in things falling apart.
