Obsah

The Classical Photography Studio focuses on the technological procedures and processes of photography. The studio also includes workshops focusing on historical photographic techniques such as rubber printing, cyanotype, bromo printing, wet collodion process and work with gelatin and its transfer to other materials. In the case of photographs where the positive image is the negative, the result is only a single original.

However, the studio is also dedicated to contemporary technological innovation, exploring and assessing the possibilities of digital photography and other technologies involved in recording the optical image. This includes the study of new light sources, taking aerial photographs using a drone, or obtaining extreme quality images by composing the image using various robotic devices.

The search for possibilities to realise creative intentions depending on the chosen technology is, among other things, a process of discussion within the studio.

The emphasis is on the creative elaboration of the studio assignment:

The use of masks is closely intertwined with the history of artistic practice, from the animistic-spiritual use by indigenous tribes, to the colonialist appropriations of the African aesthetic tradition by the Fauvists and Cubists, to diverse contemporary trends that challenge the setting of geopolitical infrastructures.

In its most basic sense, the mask can be seen as a disguise that covers the face or part of the face to protect health, conceal identity, for ritual purposes, to entertain or deter others. There are also masks that reveal more than they hide. Masks are wonderfully paradoxical in this sense, because in addition to concealing physical reality, they can also show how someone wants to be seen.

In addition to the aforementioned level of meaning, for the purposes of the studio exercise, it is useful to extend the perception of masks to the area of camouflage and concealment.

The actual work of the assignment will be subject to regular consultation, the final work must be anchored in the medium of photography and should consist of a minimum of six individual photographic images
