Suburbia
Photographed on the set of Marc Forster’s first feature film, "Everything Put Together," starring Radha Mitchell, Michelle Hicks, and Megan Mullally.
Stefanie Schneider turns the American dream inside out—and finds something strange, sensual, and eerily familiar humming beneath the surface.
Shot in the outer reaches of suburbia—those dreamy borderlands between comfort and chaos—Suburbia is a sultry portrait of life on the edge. Here, loneliness blooms beside manicured lawns. A breeze carries longing through cul-de-sacs and across driveways that go nowhere.
This isn’t the postcard version of the American West. It’s a German gaze, refracted through the heat and haze of expired Polaroid film. The result? A landscape that feels half-remembered, half-imagined. Like a fever dream in soft pastels.
Think Ed Ruscha’s cool detachment, Georgia O’Keeffe’s desert devotion, and Edward Hopper’s aching stillness—but broken open, sunburnt, and saturated with female energy.
Stefanie Schneider was the first to embrace the chaos of expired Polaroid film—not to revive nostalgia, but to confront impermanence head-on. Her work lives in the cracks: between preservation and decay, tenderness and abandonment, connection and solitude. As she once said, “Love, lost and unrequited, leaves its mark in our lives as a senseless pain that has no place in the present.”
Her characters drift through apocalyptic idylls—motel rooms, trailer parks, gas stations and oil fields—disconnected, yet glowing. They exist in the afterglow of something unspoken. The suburbs have never looked so erotic, so alien, so eerily beautiful.
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, Bombay Beach Biennale.
