About the Item

The Red Room (The Last Picture Show) - 2005 50x49cm. Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print based on the Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory #19776. Not mounted LIFE’S A DREAM "The Red Room" from Stefanie Schneider's "The Last Picture Show" series is a captivating Polaroid artwork that captures a sensual and intimate moment. The scene depicted in the photograph is set in what appears to be a hotel room. The room is suffused in a warm, reddish glow, suggesting a certain romantic or passionate ambiance. At the center of the photograph, we see a nude woman, who is none other than the artist herself, Stefanie Schneider. She is reclining on a bed with a white sheet draped over it. Her long, wet hair cascades down her back, indicating that she has likely just emerged from the shower. This detail adds a sense of vulnerability and immediacy to the scene. The woman's body language is relaxed and self-assured as she sits on the bed with one leg bent, her knee resting on the mattress, and her other leg extended. She is engrossed in the act of painting her toenails, which adds an element of personal grooming to the image. This mundane yet intimate action contrasts with her nudity and the suggestive atmosphere of the room, creating a captivating tension. In the background, there is a table light beside the bed, and it appears to be emitting a soft, warm glow. This light source adds depth to the composition and draws attention to the woman on the bed, making her the focal point of the artwork. Overall, "The Red Room" is a sensuous and evocative Polaroid that combines elements of intimacy, vulnerability, and self-expression. Stefanie Schneider's use of color, light, and composition creates a visually striking and emotionally charged image that invites viewers to contemplate the complex interplay of personal and public personas.
