Cindy Sherman
the woman who becomes a hundred film archetypes
I become the roles you recognize but can’t quite place.
I step into film stills, into the flicker of old screens and the gloss of cheap magazines. Each photograph is a disguise, a fiction carefully built from thrift-store coats, false lashes, and mood lighting. I'm not performing as 'me' — I don't exist in the frame. What you see is what you already know: the clichés, the types, the faces women are expected to wear. I just hold up the mirror.
What I'm Into: the flicker of old screens, thrift-store coats, false lashes, mood lighting, flickering identities
