"When I was in college, I made this book of doll clothes for my photography course. I was documenting a piece that I had already made for a film course, but I wanted to bring the doll to life so I shot myself doing all the poses, and it became this goofy little film. It completely ties in to everything I’m doing now because I decided that I liked the cut-out figures more than the film." - Cindy Sherman
"Doll
Clothes" is a short black and white silent film, one of her first super-8 mm films, with
about 2 minutes and was not seen since 1975, the year it was made. One of the copies it's now part of the Tate gallery collection.
"The film begins with a shot of the cover of a book (made by the artist)
which is decorated with a flowery border and photographic cut-outs of
women wearing old-fashioned hats and clothes. Inside the book on the
left-hand side is a photographic cut-out of young woman (Sherman) in her
underwear housed in a laminated sleeve
underneath the label ‘DOLL’. On the right-hand side underneath the label
‘CLOTHES’ are plastic sleeves containing cut-outs of various outfits.
The ‘doll’ comes to life and looks through the selection of clothes,
grouped under categories such as ‘SCHOOL’ or ‘CASUAL’. Once dressed, she
leaves the book and moves onto an adjacent surface featuring a hair
brush, make-up and other accessories. The doll checks her appearance in a
mirror, before a pair of large human hands enter the frame, take off
the doll’s outfit, and put her and the clothes back into their
respective sleeves. Returned to just her underwear, the doll appears to
be frustrated, and the book closes." (Martin, R. (2014, May) Cindy Sherman: Doll Clothes, 1975, in: http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/sherman-doll-clothes-t12571#3)

Isto é sobre bonecas de papel! Eu encontrei-o na Internet e quero compartilhar com vocês.Cindy Sherman (n. 1954) é a sobejamente conhecida artista americana pelo trabalho de fotografia com os seus auto-retratos."Doll Clothes" é um dos primeiros filmes super-8 mm de Cindy Sherman, com cerca de 2 minutos e não era visto desde 1975, ano em que foi feito. Uma das cópias faz parte da colecção da Tate gallery.
"Quando
eu estava na faculdade, fiz esse livro de roupas de boneca para o curso
de fotografia. Estava documentando um trabalho que já havia feito para um curso
de cinema, mas eu queria dar vida à boneca, então eu fotografei-me fazendo todas as poses,
e isso tornou-se neste pequeno filme pateta. Isto está completamente ligado a tudo o que estou fazendo agora porque eu decidi que gostei mais das bonecas de papel do que do filme ". - Cindy Sherman
