Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider - Artist Statement Desolation and solitude are two words that come to mind when describing my Polaroid photographs. Another is the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi—the art of finding beauty in imperfection and transience. The simplicity of “flawed beauty” emerges from the expired film I use, reflecting themes of love and loneliness. My work is a meditation on impermanence, an acceptance of a worldview that has no return. The shiny, idealized lens through which we once saw the world is crumbling—and has been for some time. What was once labeled blurry, broken, or botched now stands as a testament to the beauty of imperfection. For some, this is a seismic shift: acknowledging that reality is cracked, fragmented, and imperfect. Yet, even in this age when the cracks are impossible to ignore, acceptance remains elusive. But isn’t that unsettling? To admit that the dream is decaying, transforming into something closer to a nightmare? Denial feels safer than facing the truth of ruin. It’s human nature to resist the notion of finitude, the idea that all things—ourselves, even God—have their time and fade away. Yet this acknowledgment of impermanence is at the core of my work. I began my journey in photography before the digital revolution, before the era of Instagram, in a time when analog film demanded a different kind of mindfulness. With Polaroid, every shot is a commitment—a single, unrepeatable moment. There is no endless editing, no post-production safety net. This analog process became my way of celebrating imperfection and reconnecting with the raw, unpolished world, where flaws are not hidden but embraced. Polaroid film, with its candy-like color palette and unpredictable blemishes, felt like an extension of my vision. The quirks and distortions of expired film brought me a sense of inner peace, mirroring the imperfections in life itself. It was liberating—a visual language that honored the “perfectly imperfect” and invited others to see their own scars as remarkable. There are two ways to view the world: through a lens that embraces imperfection or one that denies it. But let me warn you—once you open your eyes to the beauty of imperfection, there’s no turning back. You step into a twilight zone of understanding, where the polished, artificial perfection of the past loses its appeal. My creative process hinges on allowing space and time for magic to manifest—capturing moments of serendipity, often born from turbulence and imbalance. It’s the interplay of chaos and stillness that allows unknown forces to shape a moment. To me, this is the essence of art: a dialogue between the inner self and the external world, where rules dissolve, and emotions take precedence. Dreams are the foundation of my work. They connect us to our subconscious, bridging the space between personal vision and shared experience. My photographs invite you to step into these dreamscapes, to become part of the story. Nostalgia, emotion, and instinct—spiced with a hint of desire—are the ingredients of my art. Ultimately, my work is about liberation: freeing ourselves from the tyranny of perfection, honoring the beauty in the transient and the flawed, and finding a space where it’s not just permissible—but essential—to simply be. 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. “It was Stefanie Schneider, who inspired me to start the company THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT after seeing her work, which seems to achieve the possible from the impossible, creating the finest of art out of the most basic of mediums and materials. Indeed, after that one day, I was so impressed with her photography that I realized Polaroid film could not be allowed to disappear. Being at the precise moment in time where the world was about to lose Polaroid, I seized the moment and have put all my efforts and passion into saving Polaroid film. For that, I thank Stefanie Schneider almost exclusively, who played a bigger role than anyone in saving this American symbol of photography.” –Florian Kaps, March 8th 2010 (“Doc” Dr. Florian Kaps, founder of “The Impossible Project”) Exhibitions Selected (selected) 2018 Participation Bombay Beach Biennale, Bombay Beach, USA (G) March Available to All, Rough Play Projects - Site Specific, Joshou Tree, USA (G) curated by Deborah Martin with Adam Berg, Doron Gazit, Kellan Barnebey, Chris Sanchez, Aili Schmelzt 2017 BLICKFELD Analoge Fotografie, Kommunale Galerie Steglitz-Zehlendorf (G) (catalog), (upcoming)

About the artist: Christopher Burkett (born 1951) is an American landscape photographer, known not only for his large format photography of woodlands but also as a craftsman who "makes every print himself with a skill that is unsurpassed. Photography Burkett requires "absolute material accuracy" and has since 1980 evolved into one of the greatest color printers in the history of the medium, creating Cibachrome color prints of unprecedented dimension (40x50) from his brilliant 8x10 transparencies. "The best of Christopher Burkett's photographs have an almost mystical sense of connection to us, one that cannot fully be conveyed through words or reproductions. "All of Christopher's photographs, is able to act across distance, to illumine a viewer standing fifty or a hundred feet away, to transcend the physical dimensions of its frame. Burkett is also a former brother in an Orthodox Christian religious order who, Vincent Rossi writes, has "transformed photographic technique into a spiritual endeavor. On April 15, 2018 the PBS national network broadcast a segment about Burkett on NewsHour Weekend. The program states: "There are some photographers who are convinced that the old ways are worth preserving. One of these is Oregon Photographer Christopher Burkett, who works slowly and patiently to create some of the highest resolution photographs every made. Christopher Burkett has been photographing the American landscape for over four decades." "He and his wife, Ruth, have lugged their camera gear across all 50 states." "He says he want to make both the physical and the ethereal accessible." "Light and luminosity are critical elements of Burkett's work." "For Burkett, photography is not just an artistic but a spiritual experience that's informed by his religious faith." And Burkett says: "...going out and photographing is one thing, but spending time bringing the light out of these images to share them with other people is really what it’s all about. Reviews and awards[ Burkett's books and exhibits have been reviewed in the Bloomsbury Review, San Diego Union-Tribune, The Washington Post, and Book Reader; an interview with Burkett was published in View Camera magazine. Articles about Burkett have also appeared in Camera Arts, Hasselblad Forum, and Popular Photography.[8] The North American Bookdealers Exchange awarded Burkett's book Intimations of Paradise Best Book of the Year for Art and Photography in 1999 and in 2004 he was one of twelve photographers honored with the Hasselblad Masters award for his photography by camera manufacturer Hasselblad.

Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory # 115704.02. Not Mounted. Schneider harnesses the unpredictable chemical mutations of expired Polaroid film, where bursts of color erupt across the surface, destabilizing the photograph's traditional allegiance to reality. These vivid distortions draw her characters into ethereal, trance-like dreamscapes. Like fleeting sequences from a vintage road movie, Schneider’s images shimmer with a transitory quality, dissolving before any definitive conclusions can be drawn. Their ephemeral essence is conveyed through subtle gestures and enigmatic motives. Refusing to yield to the constraints of reality, Schneider’s work keeps alive a delicate interplay of dream, desire, fact, and fiction, blurring the boundaries between them with poetic ambiguity. Stefanie Schneider’s work echoes the heart of American art, channeling the cinematic nostalgia of Ed Ruscha’s roadscapes, the stark sensuality of Georgia O’Keeffe’s deserts, and the haunting solitude of Edward Hopper’s paintings...

Going back to the time of cave painting we see that these early visual artists not only recorded their lives and surroundings, but used art to express themselves. The depiction of animals in symbolic and powerful ways and the urge to create these images with the best tools at hand is a line stretching from these unnamed cave painters to Karen Knorr. Playfully combining technologies and genres, Knorr mixes digital...

Inquire for more pricing and follow our storefront at Gallery 1202 for more work by Lennard. "The Whitechapel Woman" is part of international artist, Natalie Lennard's series Birth Undisturbed. “For the first time... I had been refused when offering chloroform... later I asked her why... shyly she turned from thw window that burst the first light of dawn and said: ‘It didn’t hurt. It wasn’t meant to, was it, doctor?’" A chance phrase by a woman in a hovel in Whitechapel in 1911, that childbirth wasn’t meant to be painful, led the young Dr Grantly Dick-Read to explore that in the absence of fear, the body's natural endorphins can replace the stress hormones that cause pain in childbirth. He went on to write the most influential book on childbirth of the last century, 'Childbirth Without Fear' in 1942, with the passage describing the encounter becoming famously enshrined in birth philosophy. “The window was broken, rain pouring in, the bed had no proper covering… the room was lit by one candle stuck in the top of a beer bottle on the mantelshelf, my patient covered in sacks… a neighbour had brought in a jug of water and a basin”. Dick-Read’s cinematic account for the first time is here visualised, re-enacted at Dennis Severs’ House, a ‘living museum’ of Victorian London. With inspiration from the composition of painting ‘The Doctor’ (1890) by Sir Luke Fildes...
