Cindy Sherman

Background • Born January 19th 1954• She is an American photographer and film

director• She’s best know for her photographic portraits• She lives and works in New York • She has raised challenging and important

questions about the role and representation of women in society.

This photo shows a dead women who looks like she’s been dead for some time. It seems that Sherman's tried to show death and horror in this photo and she done this by the paleness of the skin of the body and the mould behind the body, also the mould is in lines and it leads you to the body, also the decay in the skin adds to the horror. I like the way that this photo just grabs your attention because of the horror of the picture. But it also has a kind of humour to the photo so its not completely shocking.
