Cindy Sherman


Cindy Sherman was born in1954 in Valley Ridge, New Jersey. At self-reflexive pictures and movies, Cindy Sherman invents countless guises, metamorphosing from Hollywood starlet to joke to world matron. Often with the simplest of means, a camera, the wig, make-up, the outfit. Sherman fashions ambiguous but unforgettable characters that indicate difficult lives that live outside of the body. Giving her works Untitled, Sherman refuses to enforce descriptive words on her images relying rather on the observer’s ability to create stories, as an important element of appreciating the work.
