Cindy Sherman’s “Anti-Fashion” exhibition at the FOMU Antwerp, on view until 2nd February 2025
Cindy Sherman’s Anti-Fashion exhibition is a daring exploration of fashion as artifice, unraveling the layers of identity and image we take for granted. Spanning five decades, Sherman transforms herself into uncanny characters, using fashion’s visual language to critique ideals of beauty, gender, and age. For the first time, her ongoing dialogue with the fashion world is thoroughly examined, with the exhibition spanning two floors to showcase her enduring relevance. From iconic brand collaborations to subversive fashion assignments, her work reveals the tension between desire and distortion, glamour and grotesque. Anti-Fashion is more than a retrospective; it’s an unflinching critique of the fantasies we consume — and the ones that consume us.
