After revising a review I did of Elena Dorfman’s photography exhibit Still Lovers, I was thinking again about Cindy Sherman, whom I adore and have written extensively on. Much of the work over her career has employed various mannequins and disemboweled dollies as subjects, which, as you might have guessed, is basically my ideal aesthetic.
DV Blog has a link to one of her first Super 8 shorts, Doll Clothes, filmed in 1975. It’s awesome.
One of my ideas for Halloween was to dress up like Cindy Sherman being photographed by Cindy Sherman. It never happened. There were a few other ideas that, also, never materialized. I was just too lazy or tired or something.
