Some of you may be familiar with the artist name, Cindy Sherman. Sherman became famous for her 1970s "Untitled Film Stills" series that portrait fictional female figures she inspired from movies and magazines. These pictures make us believe that we saw them somewhere in a movie, but they are not really taken from a specific scene and created by Sherman. So the characters are all artist herself, but none of them are really her. Do you agree with me?
