About the Item

In it together (Till Death do us Part) - 2005 20x24cm, Edition of 10, Archival C-Print, based on a Polaroid. Certificate and Signature label. Artist Inventory No. 9371. Not mounted. Alchemist of Light, Architect of Dreams Some artists document the world as it is; Stefanie Schneider reveals the world as it feels. Her work is not merely a collection of images but a sensory landscape, a cinematic excavation of longing, memory, and the quiet beauty of imperfection. In an era obsessed with digital precision, she has built an empire on the unpredictable grace of expired Polaroid film—where chemistry and fate conspire to blur the edges between past and present, dream and reality. Schneider’s artistry is a rebellion wrapped in tenderness. Born at the very moment Polaroid was gasping its last breath, she embraced its fragility, turning chemical distortions into portals of nostalgia and poetic dissonance. Yet, her art is not just about the medium—it is a philosophy. Each faded hue and melting silhouette speaks to the ephemeral nature of existence, echoing the lost highways of Wim Wenders, the quiet devastation of a faded love letter, the cinematic stillness before a storm. From the sun-drenched desolation of the California desert to the spectral glow of half-remembered motels, her work captures a world teetering between illusion and truth. A place where time lingers, where stories are suspended in soft-focus light, refusing to resolve into simple conclusions. The figures in her images—lovers, wanderers, ghosts of a golden-hour past—exist on the margins, caught in an unspoken dialogue with the viewer. We do not just see them; we recognize them. Schneider has not merely preserved a dying medium—she has elevated it to something mythic, something wholly her own. Her work is at once contemporary and timeless, evoking the ghosts of Warhol’s silkscreens, the quiet grandeur of Edward Hopper, the melancholic resonance of a half-forgotten song playing on an old jukebox. In a world consumed by the relentless march of progress, she reminds us that beauty often lives in the flaws, in the spaces between moments, in the whispers of the past. Some artists capture history. Stefanie Schneider captures memory itself—before it fades, before it slips through our fingers like dust illuminated by desert light. And in doing so, she has changed not just how we see photography, but how we see ourselves. Stefanie Schneider earned her MFA in Communication Design from the renowned Folkwang Schule in Essen, Germany, an institution known for its interdisciplinary approach to art and design. Her work has been widely exhibited in prestigious museums and art institutions across Europe and beyond, underscoring her significant impact on contemporary visual culture. Notable exhibitions include the Museum für Photographie in Braunschweig, the Museum für Kommunikation in Berlin, and the Institut für Neue Medien in Frankfurt. Her cinematic and dreamlike imagery has also been featured at the Nassauischer Kunstverein in Wiesbaden, Kunstverein Bielefeld, and the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Passau. Internationally, Schneider’s work has been recognized at Les Rencontres d'Arles—one of the most esteemed photography festivals in the world— and the Foto-Triennale in Esslingen. Her artistic vision extends beyond traditional gallery spaces, as seen in her participation in the Bombay Beach Biennale in 2018, an avant-garde art festival redefining creative expression in the California desert.
