Galeri Catherine & Andre Hug, Paris: Stefanie Schneider
‘The Muse’ by Stefanie Schneider
For her photography series Stefanie Schneider exclusively uses expired Polaroid film in which the chemicals react in an unpredictable manner provoking chromatic aberrations, holes and haloes that carefully rest over the motifs like a second reality. Using Polaroid, perfectly adapted to capture an image instantaneously, Stefanie Schneider gives her images dazzling effects, obtains blurry images and orchestrates chance. Stefanie Schneider paints with Polaroid film and evokes the ambivalence between imagination and interpretation, fiction and reality and leaves the viewer in charge of constructing his own image and placing it in a real or unreal sitting. The desert motif nourishes a dichotomy between reality and imagination constantly at odds with the notion of a chronological time and characters who evolve in a lost world…
