In this article, first the “paradox of assimilation and difference” and its consequences will be discussed and next the movie A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night by Ana Lily Amirpour who is an immigrant IranianAmerican director will be analyzed. The aim is to show how her shattered identity as an immigrant is represented in her art. Her movie is an amalgamation of different signs from both cultures. These signs are not completely related to host culture (American) or local culture (Iranian). Although this impossible situation seems very painful at the first glance, it is beneficial for immigrant artist. In this hybridized space, she creates a kind of art which is very innovative and unique, because she is not forced to follow the cliché styles which those cultures are dictating her.

移民艺术家身份的破碎与混杂空间中的艺术创作：一个女孩独自走夜路的案例研究

在本文中，首先将讨论“同化与差异的悖论”及其后果，然后将分析由伊朗裔美国移民导演安娜·莉莉·阿米普尔 (Ana Lily Amirpour) 执导的电影《一个女孩在夜间独自回家》。目的是展示她作为移民的破碎身份如何在她的艺术中得到体现。她的电影融合了两种文化的不同符号。这些迹象与东道国文化（美国）或当地文化（伊朗）并不完全相关。虽然这种不可能的情况乍一看似乎很痛苦，但对移民艺术家来说却是有益的。在这个混合空间中，她创造了一种非常创新和独特的艺术，因为她没有被迫遵循那些文化对她的陈词滥调。
