About the Item

The way we were (Till Death do us Part) - 2005 48x58cm, Edition of 10, Archival C-Print print, based on the Polaroid Certificate and Signature label artist Inventory No. 9088. Not mounted. Time Suspended, Stories Unfolding Stefanie Schneider has carved a singular place in contemporary art by transforming the expired and unstable into something timeless. Working exclusively with expired Polaroid instant film, she was among the first to embrace the medium’s unpredictability not as a flaw, but as poetry. Her images glow with a dreamlike palette—sun-faded, chemically softened, hovering between memory and mirage. It was Schneider’s vision that sparked a renaissance in instant film. Inspired by her work, Dr. Florian Kaps rescued the last Polaroid production plant in the Netherlands, leading to the Impossible Project and, eventually, the relaunch of Polaroid itself. An artist who reshaped the destiny of her medium, Schneider made what seemed obsolete essential again. Her process is both cinematic and deeply analog. Schneider stages elaborate film shoots in the California desert near Joshua Tree, complete with sets, costumes, and actors. Only the most expressive frames from each shoot are selected. These original Polaroids are rephotographed, transformed into negatives, and hand-printed in her Berlin darkroom—a vast space she designed inside a repurposed factory. There, custom-built equipment, including a horizontal Durst enlarger mounted on tracks, allows her to produce works up to 125 cm wide using a vintage Colenta processor. Stefanie Schneider’s desert farm is both film set and refuge. Entirely off-grid, the property is self-sustaining, with gardens, greenhouses, rescued animals, and vintage trailers that double as costume and film archives. It is here that many of her feature-length projects have taken shape, including The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence, a five-year film composed of more than 4,500 individual Polaroid frames. Her art has appeared on album covers for Cyndi Lauper and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and was featured in the film Stay, where Ryan Gosling’s character, an artist, creates works that are in fact Schneider’s. Whether in still or moving image, her work suspends time—inviting us to live in its in-between moments, where memory becomes story, and story becomes myth.
