“I wish I could treat every day as Halloween, and get dressed up and go out into the world as some eccentric character.” - Cindy Sherman
The first collection of images Sherman created when she moved to New York, Untitled Film Stills see the iconic American photographer portraying herself as different feminine cliche characters in publicity B-movie stills, an early example of the shape-shifting the artist continued to engage in throughout her career. Considered today as some of her best work, the images sparked cultural conversations about feminism, postmodernism, and identity, and are frequently referenced by contemporary artists.
