Cindy Sherman's Instagram Posts Become Tapestries at Sprüth Magers Los Angeles

Cindy Sherman presents her first body of work without photography at Sprüth Magers Los Angeles, where eleven tapestries reproduce distorted selfies from her Instagram account. The series, titled 'Tapestries,' runs through May 1, 2021. Produced in Belgium, the works translate low-resolution digital images into woven cotton, wool, acrylic, and polyester. Sherman appears as a blond-bearded boy in an idyllic landscape and a purple-skinned alien taking a selfie. She states the work is about erasing her subjectivity, not revealing fantasies. The pixelation of Instagram images becomes an asset for the tapestry medium.
