Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman returns to SoHo, where in the 1970s, she debuted her iconic Untitled Film Stills at the non-profit Artists Space. Approximately 30 new works from her latest series are showcased for the first time in the United States at Hauser & Wirth’s Wooster Street location in New York City.

With this new body of work, she continues the research started in the early 2000s, constructing personas using digital manipulation and meditating on the increasingly fractured sense of self in 21st-century society. Sherman eliminates any external context to focus entirely on details of her own face and head, using them to construct new characters with collaged elements.

The constructed and deconstructed new faces have the objective of reaching a point where the artist doesn’t recognize herself, drawing our attention to the fact that identity is a complex and often constructed human concept that is impossible to capture in a single picture.
