Ivan Kafka, Photography between documentation and art
 Mertová, Alexandra ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (advisor) ; LEDVINA, Josef (referee)
The thesis deals with photographic work of conceptual artist Ivan Kafka and questions regarding the thin line between technical documentation and its artistic quality. It focuses primarily on issues related to the documentation of art and presentation of  installa-tion records. Issues accompanying photographic documentation of art are presented using examples of specific works by Ivan Kafka and his approach from a technical and artistic point of view. The text is built around thematic interviews with the author Ivan Kafka, art photographer Martin Polák and art historian Pavlina Morgan. The purpose of  these interviews was to present a specification of Kafka's documentary approach  from different perspectives and point to the exceptional, as well as problematic aspects of his photographic work. Individual subject areas are developed considering the problematic questions concerning documentation of photography.

Performance and the medium photography. 60´s and 80´s in Czechoslovakia
 Mertová, Alexandra ; Vančát, Pavel (advisor) ; PREKOP, Rudolf (referee)
This thesis is a theoretical study on performance in relation to the medium of photography from the 1960s to 80s in Czechoslovakia. The first part is devoted to the medium of photography, photographic recorded performance and to the clarification of the concept of performance. Furthermore it marginally outlines the historical context of the Performing Arts and the concepts of happening, event and performance, and gives some examples of the world, but mostly Czechoslovak artists - performers. The core of the work is the creation of a typology in so far as it is related to both performance and phography, namely it's distribution into documentary photography, staged photographic performance and photo performance which is used in the multimedia work. Furthermore I present concepts of copyright photographs and photographs both authorized and unauthorized. This typology of approaches to the medium of photography I developed on the basis of personal interviews, in terms of this work considered crucial.
