Cindy Sherman is one of the representatives of this postmodernization of photography. Sherman created a virtual world created by mass media such as movies, advertisements, pornography, and fashion. The photographs, which were created with large-format prints, were highly acclaimed for suggesting fresh surprises and new possibilities for the multifaceted medium of photography. This book is a collection of works published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2019, and is an impressive book that introduces portraits created by Sherman in chronological order.
