Introduction:

Deconstruction is a major cultural phenomenon that began in 1890 AD as a trend in psychology at the hands of the scientist Sigmund Freud, who discovered, as a result of many experiments, that the patient’s wrong behavior is linked to painful events in the past, and that by speaking and revealing those events, he can... Dismantling it, extracting the bad from it, and treating it.

In 1960 AD, the French philosopher Jacgues Deride studied and analyzed Freud's works, using the technique of deconstruction to study philosophical texts and reveal the repressed ideas that hide behind those texts, which appear embellished and well-constructed, and reveal what is kept silent about in those texts, and that will require another deconstruction. And another to infinity, so there is no final text, which is the final idea of deconstruction. (Hiba 2015, p. 288)

For this reason, deconstruction as a philosophy influenced photography as a field of fine art, and influenced the compositional structure of the image. From this standpoint, the problem of the current research was determined as follows:

Research problem:

The research problem is determined in the following main question:

How can the compositional codes of the image be deciphered through the deconstructive construction of the composition?

The following sub-questions branch out from this question:

1- What is the deconstructive structure of the image?

2- Is it possible to decipher the compositional codes of the image through the deconstructive construction of the composition?

Search hypothesis:

The compositional codes of the image can be deciphered through the deconstructive construction of the composition.

Research aims:

1- Introducing the deconstructive structure of composition.

2- Explaining the possibility of decoding the composition of the image through the deconstructive construction of the composition.

3- Determine how to decode the composition of the image through the deconstructive construction of the composition.

Research importance:

- The trend towards post-modern philosophies to understand and study pictorial works from a different point of view.

- Creative departure in the field of photography using the principles and strategies of deconstruction as one of the post-modernist philosophies.
