Abstract :
- After the emergence of the concept of nudity as
an approach describing the divine beauty with Ancient
Greece in Western art, its evolution to another dimension
with the effect of different social and historical changes
over the centuries has been given through the arts of
painting and sculpture, from the gradually changing art
movements to the postmodern art understanding, today's
concept of nudity is examined within the scope of video
art. The evolution of the concept of nudity has been taken
as the point to focus on, and the reasons affecting the
change of the concept have been tried to be examined
through art movements and social changes. From
medieval ages to postmodernism, this study focuses on the
concept of nudity in human forms. In postmodernist era,
it focuses on video art and questions the approach of this
art to the nudity. As a result, it is possible to say that
video art, a psychological medium in which internal and
external dialectics can be conveyed, embraced the concept
of nudity with its changing perception and helped to
shape this perception, which is reduced to the body as an
object of consumption, within the concept of art.
