Potential Causes Of Afternoon Tiredness. Fatigue and exhaustion in the context of contemporary art.
Zentková, Barbora ; Kralović,, Ján (referee) ; Hrončeková, Ivana (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
The dissertation focuses on the topic of fatigue and exhaustion, which I consider to be one of the characteristic features of today's society. The imperative of constant productivity and high workload is written into all areas of our lives, not excluding the non-work sphere. My intention is to explore and name the main socio-economic causes and consequences of fatigue and exhaustion through the lens of contemporary art, and to introduce readers to the work of domestic and foreign authors who respond in a particular way to the challenges posed by the current neoliberal system. My aim is also to try to present a number of inspiring artistic approaches that can also serve as certain starting points and tools for rethinking established practices and offer concrete solutions to prevent the imminent collapse. At the same time, I have been working on the theme of fatigue and exhaustion for a long time in my collaborative artistic practice with Julia Gryboś. The theoretical part of the dissertation is therefore at the same time an effort to name and define the research carried out within the framework of its own artistic results.
