The Body (Intimity)
Kojetská, Monika ; Pepe, Dita (referee) ; Hlavenka, Tomáš (advisor)
With this set I am following my previous work in which I was occupying with woman body. I catch body in intimate moments – but I encode it, so it is almost not obvious. I use light irony and exaggeration in my pictures. In this set I work with woman body as a object of voyer, who observes the woman with a peephole, lense, field glass or camera. But I keep it all in abstract and stylized position. I work with code, thanks to which we at first perceive the picture as colourful and shaped painting forms that gradually show womans body. I use bigger ammount of abstract, when forms of the body balance at the edge between figural and abstract. I enjoy the moment when there is not everything visible at the first sight in the picture. I want the viewer to look for the body, observe it and explore it. I do not aim for catching the beauty of the body or is real visual shape. I work with light irony of voyeur looks by using some deformations of the body parts.

Steal me your €motion
Rygálová, Monika ; Országhová, MA Kristína (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The text deals with ways and methods of creating my diploma thesis called Steal me your €motion. The diploma thesis deals with the relationship between machine learning and emotionality. To what extent is artificial intelligence able to undergo emotional relationships and experiences defined by the physicality and experience of the human body. The topic of the work is the creation of a (fictional) inhuman entity that longs to learn from people as many bodily acts as possible that will help it infiltrate the human community. In addition to reflecting the current level of scientific knowledge, I bring an element of fiction and fiction.

Side Effect / This could be us
Masevnina, Polina ; Pustaiová,, Zuzana (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
My bachelor thesis Side Effect / This could be us consists of a series of photographs and the texts in the form of a visual intimate diary and focuses mainly on self-reflection. As in my previous works, I reflect on romantic and sexual relationships, changes in my mental and physical condition, whether caused by love affairs, any kind of addiction, or by taking anti- depressants. The side effect of medical psychotherapy affecting sexuality is one of the top- ics I reveal in my project. By creating my self-portraits and writing explicit notes, I satisfy the obsessive need to share my intimate life - digital exhibitionism has a therapeutic meaning in this case, it helps to ex- perience and cope with my current state. I interpret intimacy from the perspective of sharing a personal space. I explore the physical and symbolic nature of the text as the way of ex- pression and my own body as a tool for preserving and living memories. Focusing on the body I materialise it as the map of touches, I turn my experiences into a physical form.

Presentness
Šmerdová, Markéta ; Jezbera, Ladislav (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
I aim to conclude my four-year study with the following thesis, which puts at work all the knowledge and experience that I have accumulated during my study of body art. Professor Jan Ambruz, who oversees Sculpture Studio 2, inspires a unique feeling of passion in his students, a feeling which every one of them utilizes in his or her own way. His studio provided me with a great deal of artistic freedom. I became inspired by Andrea Simotova’s work through my own personal experience. It was also doc. Pavel Korbicka who – as her close friend and colleague – acquainted me with her work and personality, while inspiring me to do in-depth research. As I studied her work, I discovered that the core of her artistic production lies in the exploration of femininity. I may scarcely compare my life to hers; however, the woman and her artistic production have touched me on a deeply personal level – especially through the measure of intimacy that she employs while exploring her own life. In my thesis, I would like to employ both my knowledge of the body and my feelings towards myself.

It feels like you have never left
Rapavá, Michaela ; Hlavina,, Tomáš (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
“It feels like, you’ve never left” is a name I’ve given my bachelor thesis. I dedicate attention to past and present relationship connections of personal experiences with my recently deceased grandma. It’s about a capture of relationship fragments, that I shared with this person, witch create links conecting past and present and with time to near future aswell. Across the entire thesis, the aspect of time is the most important. It form imaginary phases written into objects. The search will consist in the deepening memories in an effort to allow others to peek inside this microword. Thesis’s purpose is to achieve confrontations with feelings intertwined with lost in terms of finding reconsiliation.

Thermal baths Yverdon, five senses in architecture
Šešulková, Miroslava ; Uřídilová, Marcela (referee) ; Koleček, Ivan (advisor)
The design of my proposal was deeply influenced by the typical character of spa pavillions in urban recreational parks. Neveertheless i combine such a character with contemporary more conceptual way of architecture. With maybe bigger scale, but having reasons for that. Into the center of park i place a house of baths, where all the activities typical for paths take action - massages, rehabilitation, swimming and wellness. Other parts of the project such as two new proposed buildings for a hotel have the same character of a pavillion in a park. Their interdependant relationships creates new story in a city.

The Death Pit and the Glowing Swamp: A Permeation
Smutný, Jan ; Marek, Petr (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The work is connecting well-known symbols of alchemy and various esoteric traditions and giving them visual and narrative form. There is deconstruction and glorification of this type of philosophy in the same time. The characters of the story are symbolizing the german and slavic archetypes. Their voyage from the pit of death to the glowing swamp and vice versa is representing the ageless story of life and death, creation and destruction, body and soul, light and darkness. All the symbols are used in the ironic and serious way in the same time.

The Spell Of an Unspoken Promise
Vinklárková, Tereza ; Vráblíková,, Lenka (referee) ; Smutná, Martina Drozd (advisor)
The Spell Of The Unspoken Promise reflects a lack of presentation, a critical approach and insight into psychosomatic problems in the art education and society based on a capitalist economic system. It touches the issue of abuse of power in the non-hierarchical relationship in the institutional environment of art education, but also on a personal level. It records a gradual return to listening to own body and chronologically reveals events that had a direct effect on its impaired condition. To what extent and in what way does the body box reflects traumas, emotional experiences and fears? Through video essay, elements of poetic narration and textile objects, the work opens up a deeply sensitive subject reflecting the mechanical processes of the body. There are also overlaps with elements of holistic medicine and healing.
