Visit the New York studio of Cindy Sherman, the American photographer known for photographing herself in hundreds of different roles. Acting as her own model, stylist and makeup artist, she transforms herself with wigs, costumes and prosthetics, beginning with her Untitled Film Stills, black-and-white images of women that look like scenes from old movies. Her work questions how identity, gender and beauty are shaped by film, media and art history. See her costumes, props and works in progress, and hear about her process. Small group, casual conversation.

I'm an American photographer who turns the camera on myself, taking on different characters through costume, makeup and prosthetics. Since my Untitled Film Stills in the late 1970s, my work has explored how identity, gender and beauty are shaped by film, media and art history.
