‘When I’m shooting, I’m trying to get to a point where I’m basically not recognizing myself. That’s oftenwhat it’s about.’—Cindy Sherman

In these latest works, Sherman has collaged various elements of her own face to construct entirely newcharacters, using digital manipulation to emphasize layered details and underscore the malleability ofthe self. She has removed external context, eschewing any mise-en-scène, to focus completely on thedetails of the face and head. Here, she combines a digital collaging technique that incorporates bothblack and white and color photographs with more traditional methods of transformation, like make-up,wigs and costumery, to create a group of unsettling portraits of women who laugh, wince, smirk andgrimace at the viewer.
