color coupler print
1982
Cindy Sherman's color coupler print exemplifies her signature exploration of identity, performance, and the constructed nature of femininity through the photographic medium. In this work, Sherman likely assumes one of her many alter egos, using costume, makeup, and staging to inhabit and interrogate cultural archetypes drawn from film, advertising, or art history. The rich, saturated tones characteristic of the color coupler process lend the image a cinematic quality that reinforces her ongoing examination of how women are represented and perceived in visual culture.
