Untitled Film Still #56, Cindy Sherman, 1980
I chose this photo because it makes me feel like I am looking at myself in the mirror when I am tired, looking at my inner world through the mirror, and thinking about who I am. Everyone has two faces, one is the self in the eyes of others in reality, and the other is the true self in the heart. Sometimes, people often ignore their own feelings because they care so much about what others think.
The Cindy Sherman Effect
"Cindy Sherman opened a lot of the doors. She was the trendsetter in terms of distorted characters within self-portraiture. Originally painters painted self-portraits, and then she kind of blew it open with photographic portraiture, and now there are all these avenues younger artists are taking, which would not have been so easy without her work."
“What she does is within a very narrow set of parameters that she’s been able to mine brilliantly for the last 35 years.”
You don't have to limit your imagination and creativity to a certain range. People should try to break through, discover new things, and create more possibilities.
The Ugly Beauty of Cindy Sherman
“These women are not metaphors, they are not waiting to be represented, rescued or destroyed. They are gloriously, catastrophically themselves, and we meet them on their own terms — as we so frequently meet each other — in stagy, embarrassing, endearing selfies launched into the world.”
“I laughed when I first saw the picture. She is wonderful, this woman: striking and odd, indefatigably optimistic-looking. But then she uncorks something different in me, a kind of protectiveness. ”
Everyone has a different side. Most of the time, people show their best side, but who can see their true self?
