Thomas Demand
Kolský, Jan ; GRYGAR, Štěpán (advisor) ; SILVERIO, Robert (referee)
In this paper I am focusing on oeuvre of German artist Thomas Demand. At
first I do so at the level of his method and in the second part I discuss three different
readings of his work. The purpose of this work is to present Demand`s oeuvre in
coherent context and to discuss and synthesize different interpretational readings
with greater focus on relation between Demands work and reality, that is
representation, and the viewer with his perception of Demand`s photographs. I
identify the moment associating the motifs of absence, closedness and interiority,
which are common to all interpretations, as crucial to Demand`s work. I propose to
read Demand`s photographs as anticipating principles of the digital image thus the
photography.

Reflection of Photography Medium
Pleslová, Anna ; GRYGAR, Štěpán (advisor) ; PORTEL, Robert (referee)
This Bachelor thesis is aimed at reflection of photography's medium from its beginning to the present day. It is wave which is very popular and many authors are concerned with this but there wasn't anything written about yet. I mean in some summarize form and this is what I exactly wanted in my text. Introduction I devote to technical and philosophical questions which authors process the most often. I outline the beginnings of Analytical Photography and Visualism. In maim part of text I pick the most significant photographers who work with reflection of their medium and I research their production in more detail. Some essays about Czech representatives are supplemented by interviews which enable deeper insight to their way of thinking. In the end I generally summarize meaning of this wave. I reach the opinion that evolution of photography to this stage had its reasons and it was was inevitable. At the same time I can see some turning artists into themselfs and some kind of fulfilment of photography in its development.

Jak se mohou navzájem ovlivnit dvě naprosto odlišná média, jako jsou fotografie a psaní? Tato práce si klade za cíl odpovědět na tuto otázku. Hlavní myšlenkou této práce je určit vztah mezi poezií a fotografií. Pár vybraných fotografií poslouží jako příklady a budou podrobeny rozboru. Práce je rozdělena do pěti kapitol, přičemž první část tvoří Úvod, druhá kapitola podává základní shrnutí obou médií. Třetí kapitola se zabývá rozborem prací japonského fotografa Masaa Yamamota. Čtvrtá kapitola rozebírá několik vybraných příkladů fotografií, které jsou nahlíženy metaforicky. Poslední, pátá kapitola přináší výsledek zkoumání této práce a shrnutí, jak se navzájem ovlivňují poezie a fotografie v dějinách a v tvorbě.
