The artwork titled “Untitled Film Still #12” was created by Cindy Sherman in 1977. This piece is part of the “Untitled Film Stills” series and belongs to the Feminist Art movement. The genre of the artwork is photo.
The artwork depicts a woman in a domestic setting, standing next to an unmade bed with a suitcase lying open on it. The woman is captured mid-emotion, her expression and posture suggesting a moment of distress or contemplation. She is dressed in a patterned robe, adding an element of mundanity against the backdrop of the room. The room is modestly furnished, with details such as a lamp, a framed picture on the wall, and a few personal items scattered on the bed, invoking a narrative akin to a scene from a film. The black and white composition emphasizes dramatic contrasts and directs the viewer’s attention to the emotional weight carried by the subject in this evocative still.
