Abstract
The digital environment pushes away the epistemology centered on reason and puts sensuality and sense in its place. This study focuses on the formless body image in fashion illustrations based on the theory of sensationalism of Gilles Deleuz—a post–structuralist who revaluates the senses. This study examines the Deleuze’s Francis Bacon: the Logic of Sensation, wherein Deleuze applies Bacon’s works to his theory. The body images in the paintings of Bacon have distorted, twisted and ugly figures, which are related to Deleuze’s sensationalism. The concepts of ‘Corps sans Organes’ and ‘Figures’ for deconstruction of representation were used as tools for analysis. Expressive characteristics of the body images in Bacon’s paintings could be analyzed as hysteria, diagram, segmentation of body and becoming animals. Accordingly, the characteristics of the formless body images in fashion illustrations are categorized into the sensory body image, the abstraction of body, the segmentation of body and the body image of become animals. Through these results, the concepts of unrealistic and virtual body image in fashion illustrations can be understood and applied to creative expression techniques.
