CINDY SHERMAN SUNDANCE FILM PHOTOGRAPHED BY SINDIA CONDE
FESTIVAL EDITIONS
The selfie I chose for Week 1 was taken last year. My friend and I were walking to Liberty State Park to do a photoshoot. We are both into photography and the day that we went to take this photoshoot was a few days after a snow storm. It was an extremely cold day. My friend had a class assignment due on black and white pictures, so she wanted to take some pictures of the scenery and of me.
"To collect photographs is to collect the world" Susan Sontag once said. One aspect that I have seen in Sherman's work is how she puts in all her power of knowledge to make her photographs feel like they are the appropriate thing to be photographed. In her photographs, there is always fashion which is ideal. She has influenced many people.
Cindy Sherman was the type of person to create natural and unique photos. In the fall of 1977, her second gallery contained more than 70 photos including a housewife, working girls, or just girls on the run. The gallery was named "Untitled Film Stills," and they were all in black-and-white. Sherman impacted the art world due to her connection between paintings and photographs. Even though she did use Photoshop at times, her works were still one of a kind.
