About the Item

The Girl - Planet of the Apes 09 - 1999 20x20cm, Edition of 10 plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory No. 20448. Not mounted. Fleeting Instants, Enduring Dreams Stefanie Schneider’s work dissolves the boundaries between photography and cinema, reality and fiction. Using expired Polaroid film, she captures moments that feel both intimate and otherworldly—faded memories suspended in time. Her dreamlike images—tinged with chemical imperfection and narrative depth—echo the cinematic poetry of Los Angeles, the raw beauty of the California desert, and the aching quiet of emotional landscapes. Originally from Cuxhaven, Germany, Schneider has long since rooted herself in Southern California, where the desert has become both her subject and sanctuary. Her creative base, once split between Berlin and L.A., is now fully anchored in SoCal, where she lives and works amid the very landscapes that populate her pictures. Through meticulously staged photographs and experimental film pieces, she explores themes of longing, freedom, fragility, and connection. Her series often unfold like film stills—fragments of a larger, unspoken story—where the mundane becomes mythical and the personal becomes universal. For Schneider, the act of creation is a means of survival—a hypnotic antidote to the everyday. Her work invites viewers into a suspended reality, where memories, dreams, and desires blur under the desert sun. "For me, art is the place where melancholy and magic meet. The camera lets me catch what would otherwise disappear—fragments of love, light, and longing." — Stefanie Schneider
