“I feel I’m anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures, I never see myself; they aren’t self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear.”
Selected Works
Bio
Cindy Sherman is a New York–based artist acclaimed for her groundbreaking photographic works that explore identity, representation and the construction of image in contemporary culture. Photographing herself since the 1970s, she channels and reconstructs familiar personas known to the collective psyche, often in unsettling ways. Utilising prosthetics, theatrical effects, photographic techniques and digital technologies, Sherman has explored the more grotesque aspects of humanity through the lens of horror and the abject. A pivotal figure in postmodern art, she has exhibited internationally and is recognised as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
