All Forgotten Yesterdays

Cindy Sherman

Comparisons have been drawn between the works of Deren and the later works of Cindy Sherman, particularly the Untitled Film Stills series, where Sherman places herself in an un-named actress role. What Deren and Sherman share is the idea of role play and the concept of the self in defining our identity.

Escher

Escher`s work explores infinity and impossible constructs, playing with the relationship of perspective and perception again drawing comparisons to the work of Deren.
