Private Archives - The Traces of Past in Our Present
Zíková, Markéta ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
The main topic of Master thesis with the title Private Archives - The Traces of Past in Our Present, is creation of private archives and how reading and work of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze support understanding of those archives and establishment of intimate history of human being. Private archives are represented by any object, collections of objects or by anything else what reminds to owner or author of archives his past and who is returning back to the past through this object. Private archives are present in life of human being and we are coming back to the archives whenever we consider it important and whenever we want. Private archives are the part of life of all of us and that is why I consider crucial to understand their functioning, their role in our life and to know how to use them. The private archives, unlike our memories, which can be mixed one into each other, represent concrete tool referring to our past. The master thesis includes the description of practical part which is represented by creation of private archive, the functioning and the characteristics are also described. Three philosophers who influenced Gilles Deleuze have their place in this master thesis as well. I am referring to Michel Foucault, Henri Bergson and Marcel Proust.

Human in Urban Space, Urban Space in Human
Černá, Hana ; Švantner, Martin (advisor) ; Borecký, Felix (referee)
This Thesis will be focused on relationship of human and space, formed by moment of their encounter. The main aim of work is to express relation between human and space in existential dimension of their mutual formation. This process is continuous and it is embodied in hermeneutical spiral. Result of this Work is the attempt to erase subject-object therminology in the context of relationship of human and space by applying principle of historical consciousness. Concept of lived space is manifested on example of Prague city walk, in which there are human and space mutually formed as a continuously changing complex, not the separate units. Key words human, hermeneutic circle, objectivism, move, principle of historical consciousness, walk, space, subjectivism, memory, relationship

Urban Space and Place as a Phenomenon
Trojanová, Kristýna ; Sládeček, Svatopluk (referee) ; Kristek,, Jan (advisor)
What is a memory? What is the past? A memory is not happening in terrain, in section or in plan. All what matters is taking place in a range of our sight. I reject a „unlimited“ surface of a drawing as well as a tyrany of a scale. Instead I start designing from details, from lost memories of an inhabitation of places. In my mind I am walking through rooms and houses, which are part of a fluid space of my memory. The time creates relationships among things, furnitur, buildings. When the layers are overlapping, peculiar moments of fusion are emerging. Forgotten objects, blinded windows, things that are laying on the same spot for decades without a „function“ just of a habit. Memories are similar to an unfocused view of a camera. Although this is not the case of romantic nostalgia but a existencial need for a continuity. The narrative of early Modernism about a rejection of either the past or a illusion of the ornament, which was replaced by a „truthfulness of a material“, later took the direction of an abstraction, optimalization and effectivity. Apart of a mass-production, norm dimensions of spaces and a prefabrication this made a paradoxical opportunity for a material’s return as a decoration and ornament. The project is happening in-between the paradoxes of a Modernism: it neither masks the present nor it rejects the past.

The Fantastic Moment. On the Verge of the Real.
Dašková, Michaela ; Smetana, Matěj (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
In my diploma I continue in the topic which I solved in my theoretical part of diploma. I study that "Fantastical moment" in practise. I am interested in its uprise or creation, in its character in memories of other people and in its evoking. The book is documentation of my collecting work and also of my secret interventions in personal places of my kith and kin which are hardly accesible by spectator. The book (or issue) is set in 4 pieces. In ideal case I would like to edit it in about 100 pieces and distribute it in galerie´s shops. In this way it would be possible to lent it in some chosen places in Brno.

The Phenomenology of Touch and Desire
Vojtěšková, Jitka ; Hanzlová, Alžběta (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
Still life arise from interactions related to a particular situation, location and experience. They are composed of objects that are located on a given place, of my own and borrowed or donated by my "partners". Reflect the time memory. They are a physical reminder of the experience. Still Life is manipulated, staged, composed of various artifacts that are symbolic bearer of facts that preceded them, Images may affect the perception of emotions associated with the concept of beauty, transience, decay, evoking a feeling of emptiness, to reflect the time - an irreversible momentum. Photos show a banal, everyday objects, often so obvious and neglected, What remains for us ... What remains ... What goes around ... What is gone ... Similar scenarios acquire different meanings, finding what is already absent,

Memories
Prokop, Tomáš ; Veselý, Petr (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
The topic of death and closely associated fragments through which I presented my opinion in this work had a long development. During my life I came across very often with parting my close persons. It is not reaction to present situation. It is a long time process which resulted in solving this problem in my mind. Consideration of the situation in this way helped me to put up with reality and to accept death as the natural phase of living organism. This exhibition was concipated as the memory for people who were a part of my life but now they exist only in my memories. Although this topic may produce a gloomy or controverse impression, my aim was not provocation or agressivity. I want my work to be a gesture of respect for people who are not among us and we should never forget them. The instalation is strongly dependent on space, it goes out of it. I tis necessary to perceive the exhibition completely which is one of the most principal things. A very important thing is a change of space and its cleaning. In this way I tried to achieve the communication between the space and the work of art. The space itself produces a monumental, almost sacral impression which is perfect for my topic. I didn’t want to overfill the space, that is why I chose a minimalistic composition including number of works of art. On purpose I let the space influence in it’s spiritual emptiness and gave it a chance to breath. The intervention in it must be perceived as a support of its expression. My work of art is based on cleanliness and stylisation of symbol.

The Working Title: Things I Have Not Done
Bendová, Ivana ; Smetana, Matěj (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
My bachelor thesis deals with the studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts, and with unrealized projects. These are works that remained as ideas in my mind, and that I started but have not yet been fully realized. The material for this work is in the form of texts, these lyrics are slightly poetic memories of my thoughts, the reconstruction of memories, influenced by the current state of my mind. I created a portfolio of my unrealized projects visually looking like the real portfolio, that was required to be produced during the last four years of my studies. The work that I am presenting is a confrontation of those two portfolios like instalation.
