Working as her own model for more than thirty years, Sherman has endlessly transformed herself to address the complexities of identity through her photographs, which she fully controls as author, director, and stylist. A consummate performer, Sherman captures every possible distortion of her face and body on camera, drastically manipulating her weight or shape, coaxing the most nuanced expressions from her supple features, and refining every detail, from fingernails to props. Over time she has assumed a myriad of identities, from fraught adolescent to suburban housewife to social vamp to Renaissance aristocrat, claiming as her own the vast range of social and psychological spaces that women have inhabited throughout history. |
