MAN, PLACE , MEMORY
Vlček, Martin ; HAVLÍČKOVÁ, Šárka (advisor) ; SCHMELZOVÁ, Radoslava (referee)
Since its origin scenography has been situated among two arts (the visual art
and the performing art). Also the visual art itself has been since the 60's
of the 20th century in a similar position: experiences of living through as a part
of installation (environment since 50's) or focusing more on the action itself
(happening, event, performance). In my thesis I mention such examples, when
both of these creative worlds cross each other on borders. The themes
memory and place included in their works may consist at least of one of these
two main levels:
1.) art work with place and its specifics
2.) art work established on personal stories or sharing the experience
The most important for me are phenomenon of authenticity and personal
experience, (co)fealing and contextuality of the place. The buildings and
installations become scenes and scenographies at the same time. The happenings,
events, performances become the story. But these art approaches are
just shortly mentioned in my thesis, working more like roots, context with the
past in contemporary works. I prefer projects intensively close to life to the
artificial works. Whether it is about high experience level continuing to the
intimate dialogue or sharing the big stories, memory and places, it is done in the
context of time-based media, mental maps, site specific, memory, space/site,
path, memories and someone who reads (in) it and (re)interpretates that.
In my author diploma art project I work with a phenomenon of Being on
a visit. Which are the differences and when does it come to coherence among
the two key moments — being (still) on a visit and to (already) feel like
at home? I´m searching for way how to reflect the place/site, using memory
not only of that place/site, but also of the people who knew it — and transforming
their interpretations from different personal stories or deformations of the
reality (propaganda, idealisation). I focus to make a new environment/landscape,
transported to another context. In my art work I am trying to use almost all tools
for portraiting the reality. Painting, photography, video, installation, sound,
environment, drawing, projection, text, food, performance, dance, ritual and me
as the main creator of the dialogue with the visitors.
