Abstract

This paper makes a comparative analysis of two photographic works by American photographers Cindy Sherman and Robert Mapplethorpe, respectively photograph #255 of the Sex Pictures series, and the Self-portrait with whip. Our interest in these works is their critical potential regarding issues around the relationship between photography, contemporary aesthetics, queer theory and identity politics today. After a providing a description of the historical background, a description of the visual elements is made based on visual semiotics, according to Leon's (2017) account, which subsidizes interpretation in a more hermeneutical sense. Then connections are established departing from intertextuality possibilities, from the point of view of the aesthetic experience in Antonin Artaud, Arthur Dant, and the philosophy of emotions.
