In the introduction to the recently published catalogue for 'A Play of Selves' (Hatje Cantz, 2007), Sherman states: "This is the only work I've ever done that was consciously autobiographical."
American photographer and film-maker Cindy Sherman, born 1954 in New Jersey is known for her conceptual self-portraits in which she fully transforms herself into different personas with the use of make-up, costumes, play acting and even pr...
