A defining feature is the use of still Polaroid images in succession and voice over. The project includes six films: "Hitchhiker", "Rene's dream", "Sidewinder", "Till death do us part", "Heather's dream" and the feature film "The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence". A feature film, art piece that explores the dreams and fantasies of a group of people who live in a trailer community in the Californian desert. Schneider completed 29 Palms, CA in 2014. She holds an MFA in photography from the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, Germany. Schneider's preferred choice of location is the American West (especially Twentynine Palms, California, which served as location and title to one of her books), and the mounting of sequential images in a panel, the photographs evoke the impression of faded dreamy film stills. ![]() Her work has also been used as the cover art for music by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Cyndi Lauper, and in the film Stay (2005). It has been released in books and exhibition catalogs, and in her own feature film 29 Palms, CA (2014). Schneider's photographs exhibit the appearance of expired Polaroid instant film, with its chemical mutations. Stefanie Schneider (1968) is a German photographer living in Berlin and Los Angeles. ![]() 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. Stefanie Schneider received her MFA in Communication Design at the Folkwang Schule Essen, Germany. Notwithstanding this observation, it is also clear that the gender deconstructions that the characters in these films so often portray, namely the active role of women possessed of a free and autonomous sexuality (even victim turned vamp), frequently find resonances within the behavioural events taking place in Schneider’s photographs and DVD sequences the same sense of sexual autonomy that Stefanie Schneider possesses and is personally committed to." These include films like David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart (1990) The Lost Highway (1997), John Dahl’s The Last Seduction (1994) or films like Ridley Scott’s Thelma and Louise with all its girl-power Bonny and Clyde-type clichés.īut they serve no more than as a backdrop, a type of generic tableau from which Schneider might take human and abstracted elements, for as commercial films they are not the product of mere chance and random occurrence. Indeed, the films that have most inspired her are those that similarly deconstruct the same sentimental and increasingly tawdry ‘American Dream’ peddled by Hollywood. In short her pictorial narratives might be said to strip films of the stereotypical Hollywood tropes that many of them possess. What I am trying to say here is that film forms the nexus of American culture, and it is not so much that Schneider’s photographs make specific references to these films (though in some instances they do), but that in referencing them she accesses the same American culture that is being emptied out and scrutinised by her photo-novels. Yet it would be dangerous to take this comparison too far, since her series 29 Palms (1999) presages the later title of a film that appeared only in 2002. Indeed the tentative title for the present publication Stranger Than Paradise is taken from Jim Jarmusch’s film of the same title in 1984. Her works also include particular images that are titled Zabriskie Point, a photograph of her sister in an orange wig. For many of her titles derive directly from film, in photographic series like OK Corral (1999), Vegas (1999), Westworld (1999), Memorial Day (2001), Primary Colours (2001), Suburbia (2004), The Last Picture Show (2005), and in other examples. However, in terms of analogy the closest proximity to Schneider’s photographic work is that of film. Suburbs collectively, or the people who live in them The movie poster is not part of the sale. Stefanie Schneider's Suburbia series photographed on the set of "Everything put together" directed by Marc Forster.
