Cindy Sherman's Instagram Feed

[Les Olson]

Cindy Sherman, one of the most important living photographers - or artists using photography - has recently changed her Instagram account settings to allow open access (https://www.instagram.com/_cindysherman_/).  It is a fascinating look at what a great photographer is looking at day by day and an ongoing Sherman-esque meditation on the selfie.

Just looked at this and determined that I am just not interested in the same things she is. I'm sure the feeling is mutual. This is not to say it is not interesting, just that we are different in many of our interests (there is some overlap - probably impossible not to have some overlap and still be human)

It is remarkable how a personality can be inferred from what and how we photograph. Michael Erlewine recently made a nice post about how his photography changes as he does. I found it resonated with my experience.

I am as equally unimpressed as I was of her last MOMA show.

Are you sure this is the real Ciny Sherman?

Are you sure this is the real Ciny Sherman?

Apparently, yes.  The images posted on Instagram seems to be the most updated results of natural progression of her style:

I very much liked her movie stills (self portraits in imagined film scenes), classics, seen in several museums.

I always poo-pooed Sherman's work when presented as 'photography' and found the description of her as a "photographer" to be particularly grating.  However- Her old 'Movie Stills' work carries a different, more interesting vibe when seen in the context of an art museum alongside the other contemporary art pieces.  She is in the Fine Art World, which is it's own universe, and carries it's own set of curator/collector-driven fashions and fads.

Looks like 'Spitting Image'...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image
