About the Item

The Girl IV (The Girl behind the White Picket Fence) - 2013 38x36cm, Edition of 10. Analog C-Print, hand-printed by the artist on Fuji Archive Crystal Paper, matte surface, based on the Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory # 15706.09. Not mounted. Offered is a piece from the movie: 'The Girl behind the White Picket Fence' A tale told with blemished and expired Polaroid film about the hopes and dreams of an newly orphaned girl after loosing her parents who lived in Californian desert in an old travel-trailer . Filmed with over 4000 Polaroid film stock stills and Super-8 footage, overlaid with poetic voice over monoloque - this feature film creates a dynamic kaleidoscope of words and pictures, a dreamy tale that channels Terrence Malick, Gus Van Sant, and pages torn from a lonely girls journal (Palms Springs life magazine / Carolyn Ryder) In a groundbreaking move, Stefanie Schneider took a bold step in the making of her film "The Girl Behind The White Picket Fence". Rather than rely solely on a pre-written script, she invited her cast to contribute their own unique voices and stories, weaving together a tapestry of emotions and experiences that brought the film to life in a truly authentic way. By empowering her actors to take an active role in shaping the narrative, Schneider was able to tap into the raw power of their individual perspectives, creating a rich and layered film that resonated deeply with audiences. This innovative approach to filmmaking not only demonstrated Schneider's commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new creative frontiers, but also showcased her willingness to trust in the collective wisdom of her collaborators. Ultimately, "The Girl Behind The White Picket Fence" stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring human desire to tell our own stories in our own words. And in a world that often values conformity and the status quo, Stefanie Schneider's bold vision serves as a reminder of the importance of staying true to ourselves and embracing the diversity of the human experience. “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”) 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.
