Signature label with Certificate. Inventory No. 1116. Not mounted. While Stefanie Schneider's art is often nostalgic and dreamlike, there is a darker side to her work that explores themes of decay, abandonment, and the death of the American dream. In many of her images, Schneider focuses on abandoned buildings, rusted cars, and other relics of a bygone era. These images suggest a sense of decay and decline, and they raise questions about the fleeting nature of human existence and the transience of material objects. In some cases, Schneider's images are deliberately blurred or fragmented, suggesting a sense of instability and uncertainty about the past. Schneider's images of women also often challenge traditional notions of beauty and perfection. Rather than presenting idealized or objectified images of women, she often depicts them in states of undress or vulnerability, suggesting a sense of shared humanity and a challenge to traditional power dynamics. Through these darker themes, Schneider's work can be seen as a commentary on the decline of the American dream. Her images suggest a sense of loss and disillusionment, and they raise questions about the sustainability of the American way of life. At the same time, however, they also suggest a sense of resilience and hope, as the decaying objects and landscapes she depicts are often imbued with a strange beauty and a sense of mystery. Overall, Stefanie Schneider's art offers a complex and multifaceted exploration of memory, nostalgia, and the human experience. While her work can be nostalgic and dreamlike, it also challenges viewers to consider the darker side of the American dream and to confront the realities of decay and decline in our society. 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, 2019.
