Specialist note
'Je n'ai pas le sentiment d'être cette personne. Il se peut que je sois en train de penser à une certaine histoire ou situation, mais je ne deviens pas la personne. Il y a cette distance. C'est l'image dans le miroir qui devient la personne - l'image que l'appareil capture sur la pellicule. Et la seule chose que j'ai toujours sue, c'est que l'appareil est un menteur.'
'I do not feel I am that person. I could be thinking of a certain story or situation while on a train but I do not become the person-a distance always remains. The reflection in the mirror becomes the person-the one captured on film. The one thing I have always known, however, is that the camera always lies.'
Cindy Sherman in Gerald Marzorati Imitation of Life, Artnews, 1983
