Good Chef
Rajmon, Daniel ; Bena, Julie (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
An interactive project called The Good Cook serves a multi-course menu consisting of a narrative video, a music album and a performance. The primary focus here is on the play of associations of cultural overlaps around cookery, which continue to accumulate and serve here as a tool for further imagery projected into the project's divided segments. Although the segments are separate, they are loosely related and interact with each other. The theme of cooking serves as a support system for the storytelling, which paraphrases cooking through, for example, the symbolism of the everyday, cooking TV shows, or pop culture metaphors such as the internet term "let him cook".

1 Abstract The diploma thesis Fragments of a Love Story (in Photographs) focuses on visuality of a lover's speech; it follows various possible connections between the media of photography and text. In comparison with the disintegrating lover's discourse, as developed by Roland Barthes in A Lover's Discourse: Fragments, and in a dialogue with it, the thesis highlights love story as a traditional way of expressing a love theme. The elaboration of the topic is based on the interpretation of works written by Vasily Rozanov (Opavshie list'ya), Jakub Deml (Listy Jakuba Demla Otokaru Březinovi), Ludvík Vaculík (Český snář), Bohumil Hrabal (Vita nuova) and others. An appendix that includes the discussed photographs accompanies the thesis.
