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."

This is a photo contemporary collage project based on modern art. Greatly influenced by natural figures and artificial textures. I love to collect black and white photos of female portraits, cutting out the parts and stripping them from the original context, combining them with the abstract design figure, to get a new composition.
This project is about 'she', every single piece has a unique female image...
