Deconstruction, an important discourse of postmodernism, refers to a plane in which many philosophical-centered disciplines are in a common discourse. French philosopher Jacques Derrida invented the concept of deconstruction and developed a new system of criticism. Derrida's deconstruction action gained importance in the 1970s when post-modern conception resonated in the branch of art. Postmodern discourses in the branch of western art have been associated with the artwork. The concept of deconstruction after the relationship between this discourse and artwork caused deep discussions on the ontological structure of art. This deconstruction method gave birth to the fact that the traditional structure of art should be deconstructed. On the other hand, the concept of deconstruction has played an important role in the analysis of contemporary art practices and focused on reversing the relations between “signified” and “signifier” by focusing on the fiction of the language in the production process in the artwork. The artists pro-duced works with a deconstructive attitude to reveal the contradictions of life. In the study titled “As a Radical Text-Reading Strategy Reflections of the Concept of Decon-struction on Art” related to the art work "Urinal / Fountain" by Marcel Duchamp, signed by R. Mutt, was examined in 1917. There is a parallelism between Derrida's de-constructive approach and Duchamp's view of art. This relationship involves Duchamp's "ready-made" and Derrida's.
This work is based on deconstructing aesthetic understanding of the works of Marcel Duchamp, René Magritte, Sherrie Levine, Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman who produce multi-layered works in order to decipher contradictions in life and art and to question the ontological structure of art with a deconstructive attitude.
