Obsah

Documentary photography encompasses a wide range of samples and approaches. Beginning with the effort to capture reality, with an emphasis on realism or subordinated to the intentions of a defined concept or ideology. Documentary photography has gone through great development, particularly in the last century and in the Czech tradition, also, depends upon some real distinct milestones. It is essential to include this tradition among the sources, as rare among current starting points. Allan Sekula, 40 years ago, pointed out the relationship to documentary photography or social photography and the failure of the aesthetics of realism, which paradoxically serves the status of the depicted individual in the role of passive victim, influenced by the media for many decades as spectators and receivers of these visual reports and are to which are quite successfully resistant. This perspective needs to be re-opened, revised and find a new starting point and manner of documenting events around us.

Work coming from this studio course should, as a result, pose questions social in character, critically define problematic and minor areas in the state of contemporary society and at the same time investigate new communication channels for presentation (from an exhibition project, artist’s book, publication in the media, online publishing, etc.).

Výsledky učení

The students work under the guidance of the studio leaders through consultation meetings. They learn to define their intention and to find the most appropriate audiovisual means for its presentation, and in the explication they put emphasis on the reflection of their creative process and also on the ability to place their own project in the broader context of the visual arts.

Second year students develop their themes and their ability to work with their chosen media. Emphasis is placed on working within the context of contemporary visual arts and social sciences. In the explication of a project, they are able to situate the project in terms of historical development as well as contemporary trends. If interested, learners proactively seek out ways of possible presentation or engagement with wider platforms themselves, familiarising themselves with gallery operations and contemporary presentation platforms. In the winter semester, they may undertake an Erasmus internship. In the summer semester, they work on their qualifying thesis, which they present in the process at the final exam. They extend their adjustment techniques and other ways of sharing their results. Learners also produce an author's book on which they capitalise on their skills from the book-making process, including craftsmanship and the ability to bring the project to a realisation that is presentable to the public.

Markéta Kinterová

http://marketakinterova.cz

She focuses on a research of visual, informative and social effectiveness of the press in various forms. From issues of the manipulation of text and image, shifting to a more detailed investigation of the dependence on the bearer of information such as a book and public space. The transition from the public to private is accompanied by tension which arises with its connection to a new situations. Aside from her own work as the current creative director for the Fotograf 07 z.s., which publishes the Fotograf Magazine, organizes Fotograf Festival and manages the Fotograf Gallery.
