The Body as a Fragment
Dohnalová, Tea ; Sobotka, Jiří (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
In my Bachelor Thesis I focused on masks as an authentic imprint of human face. My intention was to verify the possibility of working with specific people in the broadest possible spectrum. My work has both artistic and psychological extent. I work with human identity and its forms within different social roles. This work is time consuming. I make plaster casts of faces of many dozen people. After removing, I get a form from which I cast the final form of masks. I work with a polyester resin that I mix with other materials. This gives me very different structures, colors and the appearance of masks. In this way I try to emphasize the differences of individual people. Every specimen is original, exceptional and inimitable.

The whole thesis is based on an example of a definite professional subculture which is opera singers. This means it relates to the "high" culture which is not explored nearly as much as popular culture. The author relies on the theory of subculture and identity, and on the ethnographic study of an internationally known opera company which has been already conducted. She also conducted her own research in a community of classical singing students who are preparing for careers as opera singers, using participant observation, which was supplemented by a series of semi-structured interviews.
