A Play of Selves presents a comprehensive examination of Cindy Sherman’s early photographic work, focusing on her transformative use of costume, makeup, and setting to construct multifaceted identities. Through a series of staged tableaus, the artist challenges the boundaries of self-representation and the artifice of the photographic medium. This volume serves as a critical study of how Sherman utilizes the camera to dismantle traditional notions of the portrait and the performer.
