Strengthened by Sirens
Nikitina, Pavla ; Horáková, Jana (referee) ; Medek, Tomáš (advisor)
The diploma thesis "Hardened by Sirens" focuses on telling stories through sculptural realisation. These stories are taken from the new phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war that started in 2022. I created the sculptures based on 3D scans as a reportage of events caused by the war. In my work, I followed up on an earlier sculptural project-study entitled "5 Minutes", which was created in 2019 in the context of my bachelor’s studies at FFA BUT. The sub-heading to the study read "3D war reportage ". In the textual part of the master’s thesis, I also focus on the concept of 3D reportage and the various possibilities it offers me as an artist working on the border of the genre of reportage and social documentary.

Univerzita Karlova Pedagogická fakulta DISERTAČNÍ PRÁCE Černá. (Vybrané případy fenoménu ve výtvarném umění, kultuře a jejich možnosti v edukaci) MgA. Jan Pfeiffer 2023 Charles University, Faculty of Education DISSERTATION Black. (Selected cases of phenomena in visual arts, culture and their possibilities in education) MgA. Jan Pfeiffer 2023 Abstract The subject of this work is black, or the designation for color. But it is also an artistic concept and means of expression. The subject of my interest are selected cases of the black phenomenon in visual arts, culture, and their possibilities in education. I understand black as a phenomenon that I explore through my own creative work. In the course of it, I ask myself questions, such as: what stimuli, for example, black gives us and how it is connected with our socio-cultural background and its perception. I also ask contemporary artists working consciously or unconsciously with black, what black enables them in their work, and how it supports them, whether it is crucial for them. My intention is to open new perspectives on the subject of black and its connection with daily life, the ability to treat this phenomenon as a conscious gesture, an opinion - distinguishing different uses of black context. I also examine the possibilities of reasoning verified in...

The glass shepherd
Dohnalová, Tea ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The topic of my thesis are menhirs. Specifically, the largest Czech menhir known as the Stone Shepherd (3200 cm). The aim of this work was to transfer the exact shape and size of this megalith and materialize it here in Brno. This goal required the use of many procedures. At the beginning there was a photo shoot, then a 3D program, 3D program editing, and slicing into contour lines. Then I projected the menhir on a wall in real size and traced it to polystyrene boards. The next step was to cut out all 104 plates on a band saw and I could go to gluing and folding the whole object. The final step was to paint the object in white. The result is a simple and clean polystyrene object. I did not cover the contour lines - I present the object in the most direct form possible. The styrofoam megalith, despite its size, is a sculpture in the interior. Ideally, I would create an installation that would create a separate, isolated space for the object.

Harmonies
Mucha, Petr ; Suchánek, Jiří (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The Monade sculpture from a series called Harmonies is a 350 cm tall steel object made of welded metal plates, representing harmonic intervals applied to idealised proportions of the human figure. The impetus is a need of transcendency and meaning in perception of reality. Creative strategies are reduction, abstraction and remediation.

The Case
Svobodová, Hana ; Šrek Bromová, Veronika (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
I assume huddled topic that I put into my past work as well as in final work. Casting my body, which is covered with feathers and create a cocoon of him, husk without the interior. Sculpture has two sides, the principle of duality, femininity and counterpart. Outer packaging evokes pleasant birdlike body surface and in the inner part aggressively squeeze ends of the wicks feathers.

Diploma work
Němec, Jakub ; Magid, Václav (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
The aim of my work is to reflect expression coincidence that reflects the theoretical basis of cellular automata and quantum mechanics. I think that art should point to examples of accurate knowledge and in this way spread among potential viewers. This is how I try to get closer to the subjective utopian society WERP-VEGA. I am not entirely convinced that fine arts can change the political situation or address fundamental civilization complications, but I believe that art is able to predict freely one of the possible scenarios of the future because one is only able to do what he can imagine.

Negative
Videmanová, Marie ; Žáková, Radka (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The inspiration for this sculpture has gradually arisen from the experience of the previous work. I used to be in the sleeping people, in the statues of life-sized human bodies. These sculptures deformed, transformed and manipulated by various manipulations, thus getting them into unrealistic positions. These changes made it possible to see the statues, to look at their dreams. The sculptures then acted as holy scenes from the churches. The normal position of a sleeping man turned into a kind of gesture when turning. With this creation of a series of sleeping people, I cast negative shapes of castings while casting live models. Unfortunately, these negatives are one-off and are destroyed and not treated in the next process. At this time, I began to understand these negatives not only as an intermediate but also as a sculpture output that had the same function and value for me as a classic statue. Like a print, like a dream, depicting reality. This dream allows the audience to enter the figures, into their dreams. In my bachelor thesis I therefore continue to deal with human forms but in their opposite form, and I can say that I am creating a game of forms and playing with them. I did not stay with the classic forms of the bas-relief, so with the classic negative relief, but I embedded my negatives into cubes, which act as a game of cubes, which can be arranged, rotated, tossed. In my bachelor thesis I create a small group of three dice that allow this game. Cubes have only one possibility where two human characters, two human fingerprints of men and women follow. All the other possibilities of arranging the dice with the prints of these two figures are no longer logically unrelated - they follow unreasonably. Just as it is in dreams. In most cases, we have something logical in our dreams, such as characters and / or nature, but then it becomes always unrealistic in the dreams that we start flying. And these dice are like dreams - sometimes real, but mostly chaotic. That's why I gave my work a subtitle: "Negative Dreams" The word "negative" comes from the form of the statue I chose and the "dreams" of my idea, the inspiration I want to see for the viewer. Analyzing dreams, how they work, and how it enters our subconscious mind, I can not do it, I just create my own game inspired by dreaming into dreams. Dreams that seem to these two people in particular and which are diverse. I just built this work on my vision of looking into these dreams and how these dreams work. When the dream seems to me, it has a real background and then goes into something abnormal, unrealistic. Thanks to manipulation with dice I have the ability to change the real in unreal. I play dice with these two prints of people, the prints of their dreams. In my work, it represents the real basis of the dream arrangement of the cubes, in which the imprints of the two characters are anatomically linked. And then the dream comes and the dice regroup. The author or viewer has the ability to swap, change, and dice. Reality will change into a dream. The characters in a dream can be unnaturally linked or not at all. From one particular happening, a number of other, chaotic stories are developing. For the presentation of my bachelor thesis I chose the very "real" position where the characters follow on, they work. The cubes are built in a column to allow them to walk around and look at both figures. I photographed some other possibilities in various variants, lying, turned, shu

Movement of the human body
Havelková, Gabriela ; Gebauer, Kurt (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
All through my bachelor's studies, I chose random subjects on single or not single subjects, and as I contemplated my selections in retrospect, I discovered connections between them that were not intended. I've learned that my entire work so far has been laced with the evolution of my personality, my emotions, in certain elements. My inner struggle is evident here. ...the subjects of my works were chosen random without any discernible emotional subtext, but still when I look at them, I see sculptures depicting my inner emotional development.
