I have been interested in Stefanie Schneider's photographic projects for a while now and frequently use them for inspiration in writing. The use of long expired polaroid stock offers evidence of chemical photographic process that is typically disguised. This enables Schneider to layer blemishes and imperfections, in what some critics describe as a painterly fashion, over narrative potentialities. I think perhaps what I most enjoy about these photographs is their lack of specificity. There is something troubling about these images, and the unsettled feeling experienced when I view them spurrs such writing, that which is similarly unsettling and meandering, in its syntactic arrangement and vague preoccupation with narrative.
