Office Killer Cindy Sherman Courtesy the Artist and Hauser Wirth

An announced downsizing disrupts the balance at the monotonous office of Constant Consumer Magazine, and the repercussions turn out to be more than just layoffs. A sudden incident at the office sparks murderous impulses in one of the employees, which results in a vengeance for their colleagues' depraved behaviors and a lack of recognition.

Office Killer is the debut and only feature film by prominent American artist Cindy Sherman and a true hidden gem of the 1990s. Despite boasting a strong cast of Hollywood household names such as Carol Kane, Molly Ringwald, and Michael Imperioli, the film received little attention in its own time.

Today the film can be appreciated as sharp explorations of 90s Hollywood film tropes, and a strong reflection of Sherman’s artistic practice with photographic staging and the themes of identity and artifice in western consumer culture.

Posten Moderne presents …

For 2024, Posten Moderne has collaborated with Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival on a specially curated film program. Taking inspiration from the festival's program series New Directors, Posten Moderne presents... is a selection of debut feature films by internationally renowned visual artists. The selected artists represent different generations, and each shows how visual artists can help to push the boundaries of the feature film medium. Experience these masterful and distinctive films on the big screen in central Norway for the very first time!

Posten Moderne is Trondheim's new museum for modern and contemporary art. The museum is currently being established in the city's former main post office at Dronningens gate 10, an iconic Art Nouveau building from 1911 by the native architect Karl Norum. The museum plans to open in the first quarter of 2025 and will present a changing exhibition program of renowned historical and contemporary artists in addition to the museum's permanent collection. Until the museum building is complete, Posten Moderne will present various artistic projects in public arenas in Trondheim. The collaboration with Kosmorama is the first of this year's projects.
