STEFANIE SCHNEIDER Edition – Cricket on the Nose Scene – Untitled – 20×20 cm
Untitled (Cricket on the Nose Scene) from the 29 Palms, CA series – 2009 20x20cm, Edition 10/10, Archival C-Print based on a Polaroid. Certificate and signature label, artist inventory number: 10015.10. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider’s new photographic works tell fantastic stories about her adopted Californian home. She seeks out faded American myths and distills auratically charged reality in a very personal and surprising way. She uses out-of-date Polaroid film, and the blemishes caused by the degenerated film stock, – are included in the composition in a painterly way. Exposure mistakes and low budget movie effects are combined to alienating effect. Everything shimmers and flickers before our eyes. The artist plays with the authentic poetry of the amateur, mixing strangely dreamy staging with random photochemical events.
