Cindy Sherman à la Fondation Vuitton : l’autoportrait à vie

The exhibition “Cindy Sherman” brings together 170 works by the artist – from 1975 to 2020
Cindy Sherman, the photographer, is the sole actress in his photos. She works alone, has never taken a model. It’s always her and never the same in every photo
The result: a disconcerting, surprising, amusing work
The principle of her work: she embodies an image of America by disguising herself by placing herself in a very elaborate and meaningful setting of the message she wants to stage
It thus composes falsehoods that are truer than the real
Hiding behind her disguises, Cindy Sherman is unrecognizable in every photo. She is sometimes a very young woman, an overweight 50-year-old woman, a sophisticated New Yurk bourgeois woman or sometimes in recent photos a virile man like Stallone

Prop makers, models, photographers… so many roles that allow families to understand the artist’s approach, before leaving with their disguised portrait.
