cindy sherman
Sherman is famous for assuming unspecified "roles" in her self portraits, taking on the identity of her created characters and capturing them as if they were stills from a film. In the context of film, Sherman would be called an "auteur," that is an autobiographical director who has a hand in every element of the film process including writing, directing, cinematography, and mise en scene (like Woody Allen, Alfred Hitchcock, or Clint Eastwood). Sherman creates her sets, she makes her costumes, she develops her character, and she shoots the image. She has a hand in every aspect of her new identity.
