"Miss America" encapsulates a sentiment of wistfulness, a poignant recognition of the changing landscapes and shifting paradigms that have shaped the nation. Through the lens of Schneider's artistic vision, we encounter an American flag that carries with it a sense of loss and longing, a symbol of faded dreams and forgotten promises.
The worn and weathered appearance of the flag speaks volumes about the passage of time and the fleeting nature of ideals. The vibrant colors have softened, the stars and stripes bear the marks of life's experiences, and the once-bold symbolism has transformed into a quiet plea for remembrance and reflection.
Within this artwork, we find ourselves confronted with the notion of what America once represented to us, and the yearning for a return to that idealized state. It prompts us to contemplate the values and aspirations that have shaped the nation's narrative, and invites us to reflect on how they have evolved over time.
"Miss America" becomes a powerful symbol of collective memory, stirring emotions of longing and nostalgia for an America that may exist only in our collective imagination. It beckons us to explore our own personal connections to the past, our hopes and dreams, and the complex interplay between history, identity, and the yearning for what once was.
As collectors, you understand the significance of artworks that elicit a profound emotional response. "Miss America" is a testament to Stefanie Schneider's ability to capture and convey the intangible emotions that lie at the core of our shared human experience. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us, to make us feel, and to provoke introspection.

Photographer Stefanie Schneider splits her time between Los Angeles, where she shoots her photographs, and Berlin, where she develops and enlarges her prints. Her interests in photography are in the physical nature of film, especially the process of its deterioration and the framing mechanism of images arranged on a reel. Often using expired Polaroid instant film, she photographs individuals in trailer parks and different plane settings in Southern California. The combined marks of degraded chemicals and an apocalypse-like setting give Schneider’s photographs an evocative and unmistakable sense of style. Schneider also works on feature films, and has designed album covers for popular musicians, including Cyndi Lauper and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Her work has been exhibited throughout Europe, including at the Braunschweig Museum für Photographie and at Les Rencontres d’Arles in France.
When did you know you wanted to be an artist?
It happened by chance. Right after my studies in film and photography, my initial plan was to move to Los Angeles to work in film editing. Coincidences lead me to a shop selling a box of expired Polaroid films, and without even having a camera, I bought them all. The next day I bought a camera, and went down to the beach with my sister to take some photographs. One thing led to the next, my work started to be exhibited, recognized, and sold. It all happened so fast and now, in hindsight, I think it was inevitable.
