Schneider illuminates the interdisciplinary issues of contemporary art and science, conceptual art and performance, portraiture and identity, and privacy within the public sphere.” –Deborah Martin Kao

Since this collaboration Schneider has exhibited at David Krut Projects in Johannesburg three times; once in 2005 with Carte de Viste, again in 2006 with Gary Schneider: Nudes and, most recently, in 2011 with Skin which was accompanied by a catalogue by Kate McCrickard.
