This study is about the iconological analysis on woman and clothes of Richard Avedon's and Cindy Sherman's constructed photographies which have questioned about life and existence of woman and present new visions about woman in comtemporary society and culture. The woman in R. Avedon's disguises herself with clothes, while the woman in C. Sherman's changes herself depending on the circumstances. R. Avedon reveals the inside of woman and ego with his gaze. The woman in his photography is reborn as another-self and communicates with the viewer through her eyes. C. Sherman has cast doubts with a woman's point of view in the way of making herself as an object in her works. C. Sherman has presented a new way of thinking about woman's body and ego. The viewer gives feminity and identity to the woman in C. Sherman's photography who has kept asking a question about woman-herself. The identity of woman in the photography has been changed depending on what she is wearing, what she is doing and where she is. Like this, the clothes which she puts on becomes another-self and also expresses life and dignity of the woman.

Based on the fact that a parody is widely used as one of main methods of creating art, this study focuses on the parodic techniques used by one of the most famous contemporary artists, Cindy Sherman. Her unique techniques, which are shown through parody, provide different aesthetical values to contemporary fashion designs. The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not contemporary fashion designs that use parodies can be presented as creative fashion designs. The study was carried out by analyzing data retrieved from various literatures, dissertations, magazines and the Internet. The period between the late 1990s and 2010 is the time when parodies were widely introduced, this study presents tables, pictures and photographs based on data collected from that period. The result of this study suggests that there are mainly four expressive techniques used to create Cindy Sherman's parodies: female viewed from a male's perspective, pornography and sexual satire, narrative and realistic reproductions, and foreignness and harmony in conflict. This study discovered that based on these four expressive techniques, contemporary fashion can produce the following four results according to their production styles, silhouettes, materials, and colors: the beauty of the retro pinup girl style, the beauty of eroticism and sexual satire, the beauty of history through reinterpretation of the past, and the beauty of compromise through conflict. As described above, this study attempts to seek how techniques of parodies give different aesthetical values whether or not they can become creative fashion design techniques by listing Cindy Sherman's unique expressive techniques in her parodies in relation to contemporary fashion designs.

사회가 디지털화되어갈수록 시뮬라시옹의 세계는 확산한다. 시뮬라시옹의 세계는 강제되는 세계이며, 인간이 만들어 가는 세계이며, 인간이 살아가는 세계이다. 인간을 지배하는 세계는 지배 권력이며 강제하는 힘들을 발휘하는 지배 담론이다. 인간은 그 강제된 힘들에 지배받는 이 권력적 지배 현상에서 벗어나고자 스스로에게 폭력을 행사한다. 신디 셔먼(Cindy Sherman)은 시뮬라시옹의 세계 속에 인간, 욕망하는 인간, 폭력에 희생당한 인간, 스스로에게 폭력을 가하는 신체적 인간을 표현하는 작가로 주목받고 있다. 세계가 가하는, 권력이 가하는 폭력 위에서 신디 셔먼은 우리에게 질문을 던진다. 진짜와 가짜의 경계 속에서 당신은, 현재는 무엇인가라고. 그 방식은 작품 속에 등장하는 가면과 분장이라는 덧씌워진 현상, 포장 속에 드러나는 욕망과 폭력 받는 현실이라는 상징을 통해서이다. 유기적 기관들로 분리된 시선으로는 세계를 인식 불가능하고 살로서, 신체로서 세계를 만날 때 세계는, 존재는 감각되어지는 어떤 것이 된다. 그 세계는 시뮬라크르한 세계이며 동시에 폭력이 내재된 강제되는 세계이다. 그 폭력을 피하기 위해서 신디 셔먼은 자신을 폭력에 스스로 희생함으로서 거대한 폭력을 순화하거나 피하고자 하는 것이다. 더 이상 다른 이의 고통은, 꽃의 탄생과 죽음은, 타자의 것들이 아니라 나의 것이라고 우리들 앞에 던져 놓고 있다.

This paper examines the characteristics of post-modern self-portrait photography. Characteristics of postmodernism associated with the "loss of centeredness," such as the death of the author, interdisciplinarity, and intertextuality, brought about a number of changes within the self-portrait. The distinction between post-modern and modern self-portraiture can be characterized by the following qualities: appropriation, the use of photography, and the utilization of the human body as an art. The characteristics of post-modern self-portrait photography can be represented through the works of Cindy Sherman, Orlan, and Morimura Yasumasa. By presenting prototypical women in her works, Cindy Sherman not only represents images of those women, but also exposes her fictitious role in the work. She creates a distance between herself in the works and herself in reality and discloses a paternalistic gaze. Meanwhile, Orlan transforms her face into a distorted image and presents it as an alternative identity that is representative of postmodernism. She corrodes the standard concept of identity through plastic surgery and treats the face not as a place where the identity stays, but as a simple body part or fragment of skin. Orlan's post-human face is malleable according to the artist's desire to raise the issue of what the human face is, and opposes the structure of modernism. Morimura Yasumasa also appropriates images from masterpieces and presents a hybrid identity between Eastern and Western, male and female, original and replica, and subject and object. In order to dissect social prejudice, he puts forth every single structural dichotomy that coexists in his self-portrait and suppresses a strong ego. He also studies the relationship between 'seeing' and being 'seen' by trading the painter's role from that of the subject to that of the object.
