Specialist note

‘Some of the women in the outdoor shots could be alone, or being watched or followed – the shots I would choose were always the ones in-between the action. These women are on their way to wherever the action is (or to their doom)... or have just come from a confrontation (or tryst)’ (C. Sherman, ‘The Making of Untitled’, in Cindy Sherman: The Complete Untitled Film Stills, New York 2003, p. 9).
