In them Sherman appears as fictitious characters in scenarios resembling moments in a film. She used vintage clothing, wigs and makeup to create a range of female personae which she then photographed in apparently solitary, unguarded moments of reflection, undress, or in conversation with somebody off-set and outside of the frame. The ‘stills’ are set in a variety of interior locations as well as outside in urban and rural landscapes. ]]> 2016-11-09 13:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/itktithe869/ztoqllmlz0id/wish/136380516 itktithe869 https://padlet.com/itktithe869/ztoqllmlz0id/wish/136381344 Cindy plays with the concept of identity by using costumes and makeup ect to portray a different identity.
