Create a new persona for yourself.  Write down a list of qualities for this character.   Come up with an outfit.  Dress as this character.  Photograph yourself.

Cindy Sherman

“Everyone thinks these are self-portraits but they aren’t meant to be. I just use myself as a model because I know I can push myself to extremes, make each shot as ugly or goofy or silly as possible.” 

– Cindy Sherman

Identità segreta

Creati una nuova identità. Scrivi un elenco di qualità per il tuo personaggio. Inventa un nuovo abbigliamento. Vestiti come questo personaggio. Fotografati.

 

Cindy Sherman 

 

"Tutti pensano che questi siano autoritratti, ma non sono fatti per esserlo. Utilizzo solo me stessa come modella perché so di potermi spingere al limite, di rendere ogni prova la più brutta, sciocca o ridicola possibile. "

- Cindy Sherman

Identité secrète

Crée-toi une nouvelle identité. Fais une liste des qualités de ton personnage. Trouve une tenue. Habille-toi comme ton personnage. Photographie-toi. 

Cindy Sherman

« Tout le monde pense qu’il s’agit d’autoportraits, mais ce n’est pas leur vocation. Je m’utilise simplement comme modèle parce que je sais que je peux me pousser à l’extrême et rendre chaque cliché aussi laid, dingue ou ridicule que possible. »

- Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman 

„Alle glauben, das wären Selbstporträts, aber das sollen sie gar nicht sein. Ich benutze mich nur als Model, weil ich weiß, dass ich mir alles abverlangen und dass ich jede Aufnahme so hässlich oder doof oder albern wie möglich machen kann.“

Cindy Sherman
