In Cindy Sherman: Untitled Film Stills (1990), the artist revisits and redefines the self-portrait series she first created in the late 1970s. Renowned for her bold interrogation of identity, gender, and societal roles, Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills continue to captivate with their cinematic allure and unsettling ambiguity.

The series showcases Sherman in a variety of roles — from the femme fatale to the innocent ingénue — each photograph offering a sharp critique of how identity is constructed and how narratives are manipulated. Sherman’s masterful ability to both embody and deconstruct the tropes of film noir, B-movies, and Hollywood conventions invites a deeper examination of the image’s power: both as a reflection of reality and as a distortion of it.
