The Erosion of Justice - A Silent Torture
Urválek, Petr ; Klodová, Lenka (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
I have studied principles and tools of ancient torture. The main idea of my bachelor project is to imitate erosion of law using “bizarre machines” and subsequently observe and scan, or let us say reproduce, dummy's emotions. Through a dispute over basic principles of life – the basic life values – I am bringing about a situation when one starts to experience and think inwards. In principle, such interaction stirs up both natural need of self-preservation and physical biomechanisms essential for preserving vital bodily functions. I would like to carry out all of these using my friends as well as myself while minimizing all possible risks. If simplified the whole event may be compared to an adrenalin sport (sky diving, bungee jumping etc.). The outputs of my bachelor project thus take the form of objects – “machines” with dummies (including myself), video footage of the event, silk screen self-portraits on the topic of self-torture and introspection. This series of self-portraits are loosely inspired by “satirical masks” that used to be fixed to convicts' faces (cf. visual documentation).
