CINDY SHERMAN — METRO PICTURES

Chance does have a major role to play. Using a live person—myself especially—allows for chance… Because each picture in a roll of film can be completely different, that’s the element of chance that works for me. This is why whenever I’ve tried to do more still life-type shots—with mannequins and dolls—it’s so much harder as I have to decide what it is I’m looking for while I’m setting it up. — Cindy Sherman*

A new body of work by Sherman comprising ten photographs—”androgynous characters… dressed primarily in men’s designer clothing”—is on view at Metro Pictures through the rest of the week, in person or via its online viewing room.
