After visting the cindy Sherman exhibition at Stills gallery,I viewed some of her early work entitled (untitled) ‘murder mystery people’ which displays a range of characters that Sherman explores in a construction of contemporary identity. She photographs herself as a range of different characters in a murder mystery.And uses make-up and costuming to create such characters. She also explores the glamour of celebrities of that time and plays a role where the paprazzi are following her or shooting photo’s of her discreetly in public.
She also features in a short video where her identity is choosen by someone else using doll style paper tab clothing.So prehaps her perception on identity which is forced by parents or society around one’s self.
