Isle of rats on the edge of rest area
Urbančok, Robert ; Maxmilián, Václav (referee) ; Janů, Valentýna (advisor)
In a work entitled Isle of rats on the edge of rest area, I process memories of childhood educational coercion into an environment that embodies the psychic space of experiencing one's position within the educational construct of parental expectations in an attempt to model the young person's personality through the politics of sport. Learning in the isolated and empathically emptied space of the tennis court, in a system of definitive rules, relationships and values based on a one-way construction of victory over failure, propagating active lifestyles and healthy bodies as a modern individualist religion, maintaining selective socialisation, limiting intuition, creativity and stigmatising otherness in order to class-legitimise personal growth and the representation of one's social position - at the expense of denying one's own identity. Through the appropriation of materials and the aesthetics of the tennis court, I create a space for the curiosity of these repressed childhood memories brought into the present, where I attempt to reflect on them, name the vague feelings, and internally come to terms with them.

The Scar
Sláma, Matěj ; Nytra, Martin (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
Diploma thesis Scar is a short film about the fictional history of the found „monument“. In the animated film, I examine the context and meaning of the „monument“ in a virtual environment that I created based on visual documentation and mapping of specific places that I explored during my expeditions through the urban landscape of Brno and The Hague. These are mainly „lost“ spaces (also referred to as vague terrain or no man's land), which inspired me to create my own visual map of my urban explorations. The starting point of the work is personal lived experience, which I reflect by documenting places, creating 3D objects and manipulating 3D scans of „lost“ spaces with elements of computer games. In the resulting film, the viewer follows a guide–walk through a virtual environment where objective reality is intentionally blended with a fictional world built on the author's imagination.
