Description of the subject:
Students will make photographs of the human body - the body as an object constructed by bones, muscles and covered by skin and hair, with various possibilities of mobility and gestures. Great attention should be given to the interesting fragments, extreme close-ups to depict characteristic but also unexpected shapes of the body parts and texture of the skin and hair. These fragments and close-ups are not isolated from the rest of the body, it is complex. Photographs will have less interpretation quality - it is rather a documentation, a photographic survey of the object, of its natural forms and of all its specific features.
