Opowieści erotyczno-tanatyczne. O fotografiach Cindy Sherman

Abstract

The text covers the coexistence of libido and the death drive in Cindy Sherman’s art. Her photographs show morphing, repulsive bodies. Photography as such is characterised by the two above-mentioned opposite drives: it is a fetish and a trace of the past. The connection between Eros and Thanatos becomes closer in Cindy Sherman’s art.
