Deformacija obraza: fotografija kot izhodišče za slikarska dela / Naključna deformacija fotografije kot izhodišče za slikarska dela

Pori, Katja (author), Čerče, Ksenija (mentor), Grafenauer, Petja (mentor)

Izhodišče magistrske naloge so deformirani družinski portreti. V prvem delu raziskujem obraz in njegovo upodabljanje ter reprodukcijo, za kar sem našla izhodišča v delu Hansa Beltinga: Faces – Zgodovina obraza. Zanima me, kakšen pomen je imel obraz skozi zgodovino. Raziskujem, kaj se zgodi z obrazom, ko se spremeni v portret. Pomembno se mi zdi vprašanje, kakšno moč imajo podobe in kako lahko vplivajo na ljudi; med drugim navedem primere iz dela Davida Freedberga: Moč podob – Študije iz zgodovine in teorije odzivanja. Ker pri svojem procesu dela pretvorim analogne fotografije v digitalne, na kratko predstavim tudi témo o fotografiji in njeni zgodovini ter o razlikah med digitalno in analogno fotografijo. Napišem definicijo slikarstva in navedem nekaj primerov, kako se lahko fotografija in slikarstvo med seboj povezujeta. Temu sledijo reprodukcije mojih slikarskih del, kjer predstavim tudi referenčne umetnike, ki ustvarjajo na podoben način.

Abstract

This MA thesis is based on deformed family portraits. In the first part, I study the face and how it is portrayed and reproduced, which is addressed in Hans Belting's Faces: Une histoire du visage. I want to determine the significance of the face through history and study what happens to the face once it is transformed into a portrait. I find it important to address the power of images and their effect on people; among others, I list examples from David Freedberg's The Power of Images: Studies in the History and Theory of Response. As my work process entails transforming analogue photographs into digital photographs, I also discuss photography, its history, and the differences between digital and analogue photographs. I then define painting and list some examples, showing how photography and painting can be mutually linked. I go on to portray reproductions of my paintings, presenting also referential artists who adopt a similar approach to art.
