About
The Centerfolds show young, often reclining women (all are, of course, Sherman herself) in private, somewhat melancholic moments of reverie, longing, or waiting. Some simply stare into space, their expressions difficult to read. While none of the photographs are nudes or explicitly sexual, they were intended to make viewers question their conscious or unconscious assumptions and impulses when looking at a pornographic centerfold—a format that perhaps had a far greater hold on the male (and female) imagination in the 1980s than it does today, when pornography has largely migrated from print to digital platforms.
