Abstract

Facebook has cast itself as a tool that renders artists a platform to enhance an intellectual and aesthetic amalgamation of myriad perspectives on the production of works of literature. In congruence with the rapidly shortening attention spans and general upward crawl of pace of lifestyle, art has become "quicker" or more transient, allowing one to assimilate a piece between Facebook posts. On delving deeper into this outbreak on the social networking site,this paper explores a specificFacebook community page called the “Art of Bodys” which focuses on the production of fine art photography and artworks. The uncanny imagery and hysterical symbolisms featured within a plethora of artworks is explored vigorously with the use of Psycholoanalytic Literary Criticism to not merely appreciate but to dissect, analyze, criticize, reconstruct and comprehend the depth of these literatures. This critical endeavor seeks evidence of the unconscious at play within art by venturing unresolved emotions, psychological conflicts, guilts, ambivalences and so forth.  Further, it strives to excavate how can characters' behavior and narrative events captured within the fine art photography be explained in terms of psychoanalytic concepts of any kind?, What might a given interpretation of a literary work suggest about the psychological motives of the reader?, Are there prominent themes in the pieces that could have different or hidden meanings? ; and how Facebook as a platform for self expression and connections gives way to the portrayal of rather explicit and uncanny works of Fine Art Photography?. Thereby, this paper will strive to unravel the pensive bricolage born out of the explicit, hysterical and uncanny works of talented artists across the world that have become accessible with a single click for dark art lovers through Facebook.
