VO continues - explaining that the National Endowment for the Arts withdrew funding - over photographs with pornographic connotations. Curtis on Sherman’s work at this time. More photographs. Various objects – cup, heads, dolls, necklace, hand – etc, with Sherman’s VO saying she like to keep an eye out for potentially useful items. Images from the book "Cindy Sherman – Specimens"; Sherman handling silicone hand. Her VO says she likes to inject a little humour into these photographs and believes that any shock factor should come from "the association of the artificiality and what it stands for". Daytime street scenes. Sherman shopping for dolls, describing some she’d seen which were hyper-realistic, and commenting on dolls and girls’ clothes and accessories in the shop. Photographs, and objects – hands, dolls, etc. – illuminated by light flashes.
