About the Item

My own private Travel Diary - Bishop, CA - Hotsprings - 2001, 20x29cm, Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid Slide. Signature label and Certificate. Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider’s work is about the quiet moments that slip through the cracks of everyday life. It’s not polished, it’s not perfect — it’s raw and fragile, like memory itself. She uses old Polaroid film that’s already breaking down, so the images carry the marks of time, decay, and chance. This isn’t a flaw; it’s a deliberate choice. The imperfections make the photos feel alive, like they’re breathing with history and emotion. Her subjects — often people in simple, isolated scenes — aren’t posed for glamour or drama. They’re caught in between action and stillness, somewhere between presence and absence. It’s like looking through a window into a world that’s both familiar and strange, where everyday reality blends with fleeting dreams. Her art asks you to slow down and accept imperfection as normal, even beautiful. It holds up a mirror to the way life really is — messy, uncertain, full of loss but also stubborn hope. In a world rushing forward, Schneider’s photos remind us that there’s value in pause, in the broken, in the half-remembered. In short, her work is about holding space for the in-between moments — the fragile, the overlooked, the quietly profound. It’s a love letter to impermanence, and an invitation to see the poetry in things falling apart. 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.

Landed (Long Way Home) - Polaroid, analog, Contemporary, pop-art
By Stefanie Schneider
Located in Morongo Valley, CA
Landed (Long Way Home) - 1999, 50x50cm, Edition of 25, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on a Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory #834. Not mounted. Berlin based artist Stefanie Schneider enlarges expired Polaroid stock into burned-out C-prints. The lossy images almost completely dissolve into lurid color abstractions. The shiny pink of a sex kitten's glittery body suit becomes an electrified, free-floating color field. The vivid, flame-orange hair of a 70's sexploitation film star vibrates against the dusty gray of the sky above an LA desert. Skin tones and facial details in the figures are completely lost. They are refugees from Faster Pussycat...
