Yasumasa Morimura, Cindy Sherman | Masquerades

The exhibition traces the genesis of their practices, which reimagine iconic imagery from art history, cinema, and media culture. These creative acts of masquerade not only emulate the source material, but also embody the artists’ unique perspectives and contexts. Their representations deviate from the original images, triggering a sense of familiarity as well as ambiguity. By establishing a fluid relationship with their subjects, Morimura and Sherman explore identity as a malleable construct.
