Untitled Film Still #35 1979

Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Still #35 (1979) is a black and white photograph from her renowned series that explores the representation of women in film and popular culture. The image depicts a woman in a domestic setting, possibly standing in a kitchen or hallway. Her pose and clothing are suggestive of a character from a film or television program of the era, playing on the viewer's expectations of genre and narrative. Sherman’s use of black and white further enhances the sense of nostalgia and the artificiality of the image, commenting on the construction of identity and performance.
