The work of Cindy Sherman centers on the portrayal of female roles, drawing on stereotypes from our media-saturated world. The American artist disguises herself using costumes, masks, and prosthetics, erasing her own identity to critique clichés and fears in a delicate balance between staging and parody. Sherman's fame rose with her "Untitled Film Stills" series (1977-1980), where she embodies stereotypical female characters from fictitious 1950s film scenes. Her artistic approach remains consistent, addressing themes like fashion, fairy tales, horror, and society in large-scale color photographs. This was highlighted in an exhibition at Sammlung Goetz, Munich, in 2015.
