For my final project, I took inspiration from Cindy Sherman. Specifically, Sherman’s early work, Untitled Film Stills. The photographs that she created fascinated me. The body of work was comprised of photographs that looked as if they were screen-grabs from a film yet they were entirely original. I have always loved cinema and wanted to harness this power for my final project.

In my series, Hitman’s Day Off, I portrayed a character of my own. Using Sherman’s work as inspiration, I too created stills from a film that has never existed. These photographs document the ordinary activities of an average person, yet something is off. There is a mask. To my viewers, I give an image, but not the whole story.

This series is made up of portraits of Catholic figures. I wear a cross around my neck yet these people are a mystery to me. I don’t know what make’s them who they are.

Prosopagnosia, also known as Face Blindness, is a cognitive disorder in which an individual is unable to identify faces.

If you were to look at yourself in a mirror, you would not recognise the face that you see. You know that you are looking at yourself but your face is a mystery. Those who have prosopagnosia have to use other features such as hair and voice to identify others.

These images depict prosopagnosia. As a viewer, you take on the role of someone who has the disorder.
