Being Cindy Sherman
"Being Cindy Sherman" is a photo series that pays homage to Cindy Sherman's iconic "Untitled Film Stills." Laufer steps into Sherman's shoes, intertwining herself with the essence of Sherman's original stills. Just as Sherman playfully portrayed an actress in a film, Laufer pretends to be Sherman pretending to be an actress. Laufer Laufer enters into an open-ended dialogue about authenticity, artistic creation, identity, authorship and mentorship.
The series becomes a nuanced play between homage and reinterpretation, blurring the lines between the original and its reproduction while celebrating both. "Being Cindy Sherman" transcends time, offering a journey through the realms of artistic inspiration, imitation, and the ever-evolving narrative of visual storytelling.
