Stefanie Schneider’s "California Blue Screen"
Talking about photography? "I don't really like to," says Stefanie Schneider, whose exhibition 'California Blue Screen' is presented without a single letter of text. Nothing disrupts the cinematic sequences of people, roadsides, and beaches. No orientation, no clear narrative in these strange instant images, where all the people appear aimless and adrift.
But since Stefanie Schneider is a kind person, she talks about other things instead of photography—for example, her home in Los Angeles. There, she almost daily sees a homeless man crouching on the sidewalk, cleaning the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Where the light is as peculiar as it is on the edge of a vast desert. Where everything seems unreal and staged—just like all her photographs are staged.
"The crazy thing is: at some point, total artificiality flips and starts to feel real," says Stefanie Schneider. Yet the looks and gestures of her models reveal the ambiguity of this life. And the title, Blue Screen, refers to that part of a film studio used for creating montages.
