Espace Louis Vuitton Seoul

A mysterious icon, Cindy Sherman undergoes a metamorphosis with each of her masked portraits. She might portray herself as a young Hollywood cinema star (Untitled Film Stills, 1977-1980; Rear Screen Projections, 1980), a historical figure in the work of an old master (History Portraits, 1989-1990), a clown (Clown, 2003-2004), or a man (Men, 2019-2020). Her gaze fixes on the viewer, inviting them to join her in the quest for her identity. In a cross between reality and fantasy, her portraits have developed over time from the beauty and timelessness of black-and-white to the vibrancy of color.
