In the summer of 1977, Cindy Sherman moved to New York, where she began to conceive her seminal series, Untitled Film Stills. In seventy photographs, Sherman mimics actresses of a bygone era, inhabiting familiar scenes from imaginary movies never produced. Sherman developed these black and white photographs in a darkroom in her apartment, deliberately processing the photos to be reticulated and grainy, resembling insignificant film stills. With New York City as a background for the outdoor scenography, Film Still #59, shows the protagonist from the back under the arches of the World Trade Center in horizontal format. Also conceived in 1980, Sherman only editioned the present vertical Untitled (Under the WTC) until after the events of 9/11 in order to raise funds to benefit victims of the horrific attack.
