Lilianne Schneider

With this body of artwork I want to reflect on the beauty of silence that helps me disconnect from the outside world—the rush of living, the daily noise and interruptions—in order for myself to reset my soul. The velocity of changes around us is pulling us apart from each other, the chain of information is overwhelming. As the day rises the challenge is on. We have infinite questions in front of us with no answers.

Lilianne Schneider is a self-taught photographer, born and raised in Peru, now living in Toronto since the late 1980s.

She is influenced by the rich experimental film scene in Toronto and her various travels abroad. They have forged her sensitivity for the environment that surrounds her. She is constantly looking for photographic subjects in the streets where society and the richness of the cultural landscape converge.

Photography opens her mind to experiment and recreate the scenes that might go unnoticed to others.

Her work has been shown by the Patrons for Arts of Peru at Toronto City Hall, at the Gallery of the Peruvian Consulate in Toronto and has been featured in group exhibitions at Columbus Centre (Toronto), PIX FILM Gallery, Spectra 2019 and Spectra 2020  at Gallery 1313, 365 exhibits (2018 and 2019), Low-Res show (2019) at Gallery 44 Centre of Contemporary Photography, and Covid-19 Portraits (2020), Coming Home (2020) and Brave New World (2020) Group Online Exhibition at Gallery 1313. Spectra 2021 and Spectra 2022 at Artscape Youngplace.
