Lying down on mats, cushions, and black velvet underneath Schneider’s large-format camera, the subjects are then “exposed” over eight minutes by a tiny light Schneider uses to explore around their heads. Schneider, who grew up in South Africa and moved to New York for graduate school, began the series in 1988. At first, he shot in black and white and took two portraits that lasted roughly half an hour each, but when he started working on the series again a few years later, he switched to color film and “a tighter script.”
