This publication presents a new body of work by Cindy Sherman—artificial sitters constructed through digital manipulation and collage of the artist’s own face—while offering an intimate glimpse into Sherman’s studio process through a series of diary entries by the artist.

This publication features a brand new body of work by Cindy Sherman that continues her explorations of the genre of portraiture going back to her early work of the 1970s. Across thirty-six photographs, the artist collages parts of her own face to construct the identities of various sitters, using digital manipulation to accent the layered aspects and plasticity of the self. The book also includes a text by Sherman chronicling her process in the studio, offering an intimate glimpse into her thinking about the work.
