Analiza ekspresivnosti nadrealistične fotomontaže

Blaško, Tjaša (author), Starešinič, Marica (mentor)

Ob gledanju umetnin začne naš um iskati skriti pomen znotraj vizualne estetike in interpretirati delo na podlagi predhodnega znanja, idej ter izkušenj. Taka veja umetnosti je predvsem nadrealizem, kjer umetnine temeljijo na nepričakovanih podobah, asociacijah in sanjskem, imaginarnem svetu, ki ne prikazuje logičnih upodobitev, ampak je njihova interpretacija odvisna od vsakega posameznika. Navsezadnje lahko potegnemo veliko vzporednic z nadrealizmom, ki se dandanes kažejo v veliko tehnologijah, ena od njih pa je virtualna resničnost, na kateri tudi temeljijo naše ustvarjene fotomontaže za namen raziskave. Ta je bil predvsem raziskati všečnost in ekspresivnost nadrealističnih fotomontaž na podlagi različnih osebnostnih karakteristik, ugotoviti ali se stopnja ekspresivnosti spremeni glede na poznavanje teme fotomontaž in ekspresivnost posameznih uporabljenih nadrealističnih tehnik. Pred načrtovanjem fotomontaž je bilo preučeno ozadje nadrealistične umetnosti, preučene so bile tehnike, s katerimi dosegamo nadrealistične upodobitve, pripravljeni so bili koncepti za izdelavo fotomontaž in na podlagi tega so bile oblikovane fotomontaže v programu Adobe Photoshop. V raziskavi smo obravnavali rezultate, ki se nanašajo na osebnostne karakteristike, ter mnenja o všečnosti in ekspresivnosti predstavljenih fotomontaž. Z analizo je bil pridobljen boljši vpogled v to, kakšne izpostavitve in oblikovne odločitve prispevajo k všečnosti in ekspresivnosti fotomontaž znotraj teme prikazovanja prednosti ter problematike virtualne resničnosti. Te ugotovitve so lahko v pomoč tudi pri ustvarjanju fotomontaž drugih tematik.

• Title: Analysis of the Expressiveness of Surrealist Photomontage

Abstract

When looking at works of art, our mind begins to search for hidden meaning within the visual aesthetics and begins to interpret the work based on prior knowledge, ideas and experiences. The foremost branch of such art is surrealism, where works of art are based on unexpected images, associations and a dreamlike, imaginary world that does not display logical representations, but depends on each individual's interpretation of it. We can ultimately draw a lot of parallels with surrealism, which is manifested in many technologies nowadays. One of such technologies is virtual reality, which is also the main focus of the photomontages we created for the purpose of this research. The purpose was mainly to investigate the likeability and expressiveness of surrealist photomontages based on different personality traits, to determine whether the degree of expressiveness changes depending on the subject's knowledge of the photomontages' theme, and to explore the expressiveness of individual surrealist techniques used. In the planning stage, the background of surrealist art and the techniques used to achieve surrealistic depictions were studied, concepts for the photomontages were prepared and, based on this preparation, the photomontages were created in Adobe Photoshop. In the research stage, we discussed the results related to personality traits and opinions about likeability and expressiveness of the presented photomontages. Through the analysis, a better insight was gained into what exposures and design decisions contribute to the likeability and expressiveness of photomontages within the topic of presenting the advantages and disadvantages of virtual reality. These findings can also be helpful in creating photomontages on other topics.
