CINDY SHERMAN

I wanna talk about the super duper cool and totally awesome American photographer Cindy Sherman. Often serving as subject as well as photographer, Sherman made a name for herself with her Untitled Film Stills Series from 1977-80, in which she plays the role of B-movie, film noir and foreign film actresses. The photographs are often voyeuristic, confronting and even disturbing and Sherman aimed to highlight the way women are stereotyped in the media, although she does not consider herself a feminist. Her work is pretty original and I think the themes are timeless.
