The artwork, titled “Untitled Film Still #27b,” was created by Cindy Sherman in 1979. It belongs to the Feminist Art movement and is a photograph that forms part of her renowned series “Untitled Film Stills.”
In this monochromatic composition, a woman wearing a nightgown stands barefoot in a corner of a starkly lit corridor. Her posture is relaxed, yet her gaze is distant. The setting appears to be simple and unadorned, with plain walls and a hanging bucket adding to the austere and somewhat somber atmosphere. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the dramatic quality of the scene, reflecting the staged and cinematic nature characteristic of Sherman’s “Untitled Film Stills” series. Through this artwork, Sherman explores themes of identity, femininity, and the representation of women in media.
