Abstract

Subjects of contemporary art include numerous concerns, including man and his identity, which in the works of each artis t, there is a difference in the way the technique is expressed and performed. After the Renaissance and the great changes of humanism, the creator of a work has become more important than before, and after passing through modernity and reaching pos tmodernity, he has led to the creation of works with different readings. After creation, the work of art acquires an identity independent of the creator, which is initially assimilated with the conditions and identity of the artis t and is born from it and finds its path after birth, but with all these changes, it is an extract from the soul. Has the artis t with him. One of the mos t important factors influencing this phenomenon is the effect of identity on the way of expressing the effect, which can be read in Freudian psychoanalytic approach. Social, human, cultural, and other issues are each separate and interrelated issues. The emergence of a work is directly related to the living and social conditions and other issues of the artis t's life, which can be expressed in its own visual language. The artis t's mental preoccupation plays an important role in creating the work. This can be an unresolved or concluded issue that manifes ts itself at any point in the artis t's life and, in Jung's words, gives way to a dream and enters the real world, sometimes in the form of A work of art appears. In the pos tmodern period and beyond, all the rules that were once res trictive for the artis t are removed and the artis t applies his own unique rules and individual identity. One of the concerns of the contemporary artis t is to create works that reflect the exis tential dimensions of his life. This type of detection implies repression that can be examined in psychoanalytic criteria. Cindy Sherman, a contemporary American artis t and photographer, uses herself as a subject in her work. The purpose of examining Sherman's work is to show a kind of repression, repression, and escape from identity that is rooted in the pas t. Cindy Sherman, a prominent artis t and photographer of the pos tmodern era, is one of the artis ts who has achieved a new language and a special look by transforming her visible identity and combining several branches of art by recording with a camera. The important ques tion is whether Sherman's presence in all of his works is an emphasis on revealing his hidden identity. And whether the works of this artis t can be considered as feedback agains t his own repressed identity? The purpose of asking these ques tions is to show the effects of the artis t's lived experiences and its effects on his works, which can be examined in the form of psychoanalysis. In the present article, by expressing Freud's psychoanalytic theory in the form of repression and displacement, an attempt is made to show the effects of the events of the artis t's life and the direct impact on his works. The writing of the leading article is based on descriptive-analytical research method and the method of collecting information is library type, using reputable internet sites and Cindy Sherman's personal Ins tagram page. Takes. The artis t has created different works over several periods of work. However, their common feature is that the artis t is the subject of all his works, and an important part of the writing also deals with this issue, which can be analyzed within the framework of Freud's divisions. The writing of this research is important because no serious s tudy has been done on this type of self-expression in art, and it also shows the impact of important changes in an artis t's life on his works, so that the contemporary artis t finds a deeper connection between his life and work. Cindy Sherman is one of the pos tmodern artis ts who, without a feminist and biased view, has tried to show her identity throughout her life by transforming it into another form, which this multiplicity in identity and its relevance to Freud's psychoanalytic critique necessitates. Argues that research has not been addressed elsewhere from this perspective. According to Freud's classifications such as repression, repression, displacement, escape, and other factors, one consciously and unconsciously resorts to s trategies such as art to get rid of these factors. Art is a way to get rid of these shortcomings. Cindy Sherman is a pos tmodern and pos t-modern artis t who is one of the mos t prolific artis ts of all time; But in all his works and periods of work there is a common feature, and that is the subject of Sherman himself in the picture frame. A kind of seeing and being seen is a mechanism for defending agains t pas t repressions. In the slips of the tongue that he sometimes writes under his new works, he has reason to be aware of this kind of reaction. He consciously conceals his identity and sees it as a way to protes t the s tatus quo. The early periods of Sherman's work evoke spaces from the pas t that are depicted to find old pleasures, such as the use of dolls in some of his works, and the pursuit of childish pleasures, which in his works are dis torted by The doll's appearance is interrupted. In his works, Sherman seeks an identity that he has pursued throughout his life, and his photographs illus trate this point. A way to escape or a way to boos t happiness in an oppressed childhood. In all of her works, she seeks out a los t identity by playing different roles for different types of men and women, so that perhaps in the form of a role, her confusion may be reduced to some extent, while she has appeared more in the role of women and has no title for her works. Anonymity is also a reason to hide one's true identity. In some of his works, Sherman takes a protes t look at the woman of today who has become an object and is being used more in the present society, a woman who uses every trick to maintain her physical attractiveness and seemingly safe position. Sherman does not claim to be a feminis t, and the issue of being a woman is no different for her than being a human being, but she has challenged it all these years. As a result, Sherman's work can be seen as a response to his repressed identity, while he himself is relatively aware of it and uses the practice of photography to the bes t of his ability to find and conceal his identity. In his pas t life, Sherman has suffered from failures such as growing up in arid and religious families and unsuccessful marriages, which in reading his works have consequences such as hiding in a mask and escaping from circums tances, while also consuming society and playing with contemporary man. Has an objection.
