| GARAGE Magazine, cover di Patrick Demarchelier (immagine tratta dal link) |
Apprendo oggi da Exibart la notizia sull'uscita del numero 4 della rivista Garage (di cui ho già scritto in precedenza), gestita dalla sempre più presente Dasha Zhukova, moglie del magnate russo Abramovic. La scelta dell'artista per la cover, questa volta, è caduta sulla grande fotografa Cindy Sherman, tra le preferite di Pinault.
Quattro sue espressioni facciali reallizate attraverso il sito web www.thatsmyface.com, un dispositivo che ricrea tridimensionalmente un volto a partire da una fotografia, in questo caso da uno scatto di Patrick Demarchelier.
L'ispirazione principale, invece, è stata la serie degli Untitled Film Stills realizzata dalla Sherman tra gli anni 1977-80: fotografie in bianco e nero che la ritraggono in vari ruoli femminili fortemente stereotipati, a significare l'assenza di un'identità femminile innata biologicamente.
La prima di una lunga serie di riflessioni sulla figura femminile operata dall'artista attraverso l'autorappresentazione.

La serie è stata raccolta in un bellissimo e assolutamente non costoso (su Amazon a 40 euro) catalogo negli anni Novanta, curato da Arthut Danto e intitolato proprio Untitled Film Stills, e nel più recente The Complete Untitled Film Stills, edito dal MOMA di New York, che nel 1995 ha acquistato l'intera raccolta e l'anno scorso l'ha esposta al pubblico in una straordinaria mostra.

From Exibart I've found out that it went out the new issue of the magazine GARAGE (about which I've already wrote in the past), the n.4, led by the more and more active Dasha Zhukova, the magnate Abramovic's wife.
The choice of the artist for the cover this time went to the great photographer Cindy Sherman, one of the Pinault's favourites; four facial expressions realized through the website www.thatsmyface.com, a system that recreates a tridimensional picture, in this case a Patrick Demarchelier's one.
For what concerns the main inspiration, the idea comes from the Untitled Film Stills realized by Sherman in 1977-80: black and white pictures that shows her in different female stereotypical roles, to signify the absence of an innate biological female identity.
Just one of a many series of Sherman's reflections about the woman role through self representation.
The series was collected in a beautiful and absolutely not expensive catalogue (on Amazon at 40 euros) published in the 90s and curated by Arthur Danto, called Untitled Film Stills and by the MOMA of New York in the recent catalogue The Complete Untitled Film Stills. The museum in 1995 bought the entire collection and last year has organized an exhibition of it.
