About the Item

My own private Travel Diary - Bishop, CA - Walking Lulu III - 2001, 20x55cm, Edition of 10, plus 2 Artist Proofs. Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid Slide. Signature label and Certificate Not mounted. Stefanie Schneider: Alchemy in Polaroid Stefanie Schneider’s work exists in a liminal state—part photograph, part chemical performance. Working exclusively with expired Polaroid film, she transforms the unpredictability of decay into an aesthetic strategy, not a flaw. Her images are sun-streaked, color-shifted, often dreamlike—but behind the surface is an exacting practice. She does not manipulate the film after the fact. Everything is staged, shot, and captured with precision. The results carry the weight of painting, performance, and cinema simultaneously. Schneider’s artistic project unfolds across the California desert, where time feels suspended. Her characters linger, dissolve, or escape—caught in unresolved stories that suggest love, loss, and the impossibility of closure. She builds full worlds around them, working with actors, costumes, and sets, sometimes even extending into film. Her epic 29 Palms project and feature-length The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence are evidence of an artist whose vision is not only photographic but architectural—constructing entire emotional landscapes from light and chemistry. What sets Schneider apart is her commitment to material truth. The chemical burns, color fades, and unpredictable emulsions are not accidents; they are language. This visual vocabulary speaks to transience, to memory, and to a kind of beauty that resists polish. Her work stands as a visual thesis on impermanence—highly physical, deeply cinematic, and emotionally precise. 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...
