This photo shows Cindy Sherman when she took herself (in 1979) for her Untitled Film Stills, who made the object of a new exhibition in 1997 in MoMA. (Museum of Modern Art)
It is in black and white (she didn't take photos in colour at this periode). Its size is 24 x 16.2 cm.

We can see her like a housewife. The photography has taken from below, so she seems to be tall. Behind her, the walls, the door and the floor are old, damaged and dirty. In all of her photos she calls attention to the stereotyping of women in films, television and magazines. And in this photo she shows the stereotype of housewives.
She doesn't look the objective. She seems to be very provocating. It's strange but I have the impression that she is independent, not subjected to the men.
I think this photo is very interesting. Although she doesn't consider her like a feminist, this photography shows her wish to change the place of the women in the society (not just a housewife). She is very critical.
It's for all of this reasons I presented you this work of art.
