Untitled #153 is a color photograph made by American visual artist Cindy Sherman in 1985.
[2] The picture resulted from an invitation of the magazine Vanity Fair to create a series of photographs inspired by fairy tales.
The current picture is, like its usual in the artist, a self-portrait, depicting a woman, lying in the ground as a corpse, covered with mud in what appears to be a natural environment.
Reminiscent of a crime scene photo, the picture shows a dead woman lying on the ground and covered in dirt, her glassy eyes opened wide, as if shocked by her own violent demise.
Unlike a police photograph, however, this larger-than-life glossy picture is full of seductive detail, with rich descriptions of the colors and textures of the gravel background, the woman’s mussed hair, and her waxy face.
