Stefanie Schneider – Artist Statement
My work is about moments—messy, fleeting, and imperfect. I pull all the pieces together: expired Polaroid film, light, mood, a human connection, and let it unfold. I aim for something specific, but I know the results can turn out completely different. That’s part of it. Sometimes it doesn’t work, and sometimes it surprises me in ways I couldn’t have planned.
The expired film I use is unpredictable, and that’s why I love it. It’s full of quirks—blurs, cracks, colors bleeding into each other. Those “flaws” are where the magic happens. They remind me that life isn’t perfect, that beauty often lives in the things we don’t expect.
I started with Polaroid because it felt real. No edits, no filters, no second chances—just a single shot to capture what’s in front of me. It’s raw, honest, and unapologetic. Each photograph is a reflection of that moment, with all its imperfections intact.
What I’m chasing isn’t perfection; it’s authenticity. The process is chaotic at times, but that chaos is what makes it meaningful. It’s about letting go of control and allowing the moment to breathe, to become what it’s meant to be.
At its heart, my work is a conversation—a way of connecting with the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. It’s about finding beauty in what’s broken, in the transient and the unpredictable. And it’s about being okay with that.
Shown is a piece of Stefanie Schneider's project 'Strange Love' the sub story of 29 Palms, CA
'strange love' is based on the story of Lance (The Smoke Jumper), Eva (alias Fia) und Stefanie (alias Stella, alias Stevie) who were entangled in a ménage à trois. The project relates to real time events and reflects on love, sexuality, communication between men and women, and perception. The story has been reenacted, reinvented, rendered independently.
