현대사진에 나타난 가족의 개념을 통한 트라우마(상실의 기억)의 극복에 관한 고찰

Abstract

Creative activities often act as a tool to overcome trauma for artists. Nan Goldin is an American photographer who was first introduced in New York in the 1970s and 1980s for documenting intimate daily life of herself and friends who were part of bohemian and LGBTQ(Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer) minority cultures. Nan started photography to overcome the trauma caused by her sister’s death. Leaving home, she formed a new concept of family and recorded their daily life in the form of a diary. Through understanding Nan Goldin's childhood and concept of family, the thesis analyzes narrative techniques, subject matters, and colors used in work. Viewers gain sympathy and comfort in an unfamiliar way through Nan Goldin’s daily record.
