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.

Comparison of photographer Nan Goldin's work with Instagram's users generated photography
Valentová, Marie ; Hrůzová, Andrea (advisor) ; Láb, Filip (referee)
Contemporary constantly expanding content of social media like Instagram brings the medium of photography to new contexts. Photography becomes an instrument of immediate communication and its historically defined functions are an object of change. The continuity of Instagram content creating, the personal perspective of its users, the constant presence of camera accompanying them are aspects analogous to the artwork of Nan Goldin. Goldin's photo essay The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (1986)has a character of visual diary that captures the life of her community with almost obsessive continuity. It's also captured from deeply personal perspective depicting intimate moments and describing Goldin's personal relationships. Publishing of The Balladand formation of Instagram is divided by more than twenty-five years and both events and its meanings are profoundly different. This thesis nevertheless presumes that comparison of these, in many aspects alike phenomenons can help describe the change of the function of the media of photography, explore contemporary tendencies in photography aesthetics, the meaning of instagram's content to its users and provide general understanding of the role of shared photography in social and historical context. The methods of comparison are semiotic visual analysis,...

Visual diary - His creation and use in education
Pešoutová, Monika ; Francová, Sylva (advisor) ; Novotná, Magdalena (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with a visual diary and it's creation. At the very beginning of the work is a theoritical part, containing an introduction to the diary and subsequently the necessary information about its brief history, creation, types, binding, tools and other necessary technical parameters suitable for creating a diary. In this part of the work, you will also get to know several important Czech and world artists, who are or have been involved in creating a diary and have a close or even deeper relationship with it. Their presentation is intended to serve as an inspiration, thanks to which we can understand the different perceptions of the diary. In this thesis, their life is very briefly introduced, followed by their work and primarily focused on the diary. Next, there is a practical part, in which it is possible to look into my creation of the diary, my thought processes that I had during the creation, and finally it contains a few photos from the diary as examples. At the end of the work, we come to the didactic part discussing the inclusion and use of the diary in education. At the end, you will find suggestions for art education lessons in connection with the diary. I am trying to figure out the possibility of reducing the time required, which can be the main stumbling block when...
