This edition by Cindy Sherman presents a luminous, otherworldly figure in the form of a light box, where the artist’s characteristic interest in disguise, artifice, and identity merges with the material glow of photographic transparency. Suspended in a dreamlike space, the biomorphic puppet-like form is rendered in vivid, saturated color and layered texture. The image resists clear interpretation, straddling the line between body and object, sculpture and photograph. As with much of Sherman’s work, the figure becomes both subject and mask – performative, unsettling, and theatrically constructed.
