Beachshoot
These photographic phantasies are determined by carefully chosen constraints and the use of symbolic attributes. Telegraph poles, airplanes, vast wastelands, a train bridge or a 50s American car tell in the same manner different stories, as do lurid wigs, kids toys, a headscarf or an old super 8 camera.
Schneider’s work feeds on anecdotes and storytelling, but also on her specific European perspective on America. The world of her photographs is populated by narrow-chested boys and fragile girls, who do not seem to be aware of their
own youth and beauty. Their light-heartedness is invaded by a menacing grown-up world, to which they oppose their juvenile lack of compromise.
And actually her work does have an autobiographical aspect to it, since the artist makes herself and her friends the focus of the camera.
Stefanie Schneider photographs her ‘mises en scene’ with a Polaroid camera, of all things. The medium that is usually understood as a means to conserve documentary immediacy is being used in its opposite sense, since places, postures, costumes and especially the eye-catching image sections are staged. This technical ‘plot device’ mirrors her method as well as her purpose: the laureate of the Folkwang school in Essen Germany uses only expired Polaroid material. Marks, scintillation, electric ferns and massive changes in color add a second layer of reality to the shots and question the
validity of imagery, the symbols and the relevance of proper memories.
