Guest of Cindy Sherman

Guest of Cindy Sherman

Guest of Cindy Sherman is a documentary based on Paul Hasegawa Overacker and Cindy Sherman’s brief relationship. As the title suggests Paul Hasegawa Overacker was like a guest where he gets out as swiftly as he had come into her world because he started thinking that being with her was threatening his identity, which he had built by being a straightforward individual.

 He used to attend and record his experiences at art galleries and presented his views on his show ‘Gallery Beat’ because of his uncanny and strange assessment he won over many people. During that process he also came across one of the most talented artist of that time; Cindy Sherman.

Paul Hasegawa Overacker was an open and honest individual whose work revolved around media on a daily basis whereas Cindy Sherman was exactly opposite; she was media shy and always tried to avoid them. But the thing they had in common was their passion in the field of arts. Even though they contributed to that field in different ways; it was arts that brought them together. Despite their relationship seemed flourishing at the beginning soon cracks started appearing, their relationship was always doomed to fail from the start because of their differing personality. He felt that he was always overshadowed by her and felt uncomfortable.
