The Complete Untitled Film Stills presents a series of black-and-white photographs in which Cindy Sherman adopts various female roles inspired by the visual language of mid-20th-century cinema. The photographs explore themes of identity, gender, and the construction of female stereotypes through Sherman’s strategic use of costume, pose, and setting. Each image evokes a narrative fragment, challenging viewers to question the nature of film and representation.

Produced between 1977 and 1980, these 69 images are gathered in a comprehensive edition published by Schirmer/Mosel Verlag in 2003. Printed on 162 pages, the collection offers a sustained visual investigation into the performative aspects of femininity and media stereotypes, marking a significant moment in contemporary photography and art.
