This Master’s thesis focuses on the creation of an artwork through the concept of desire, studied by psychoanalysis, specifically Jacques Lacan. In its first part of theoretical research it follows the basic concepts of Freud and Lacan’s psychoanalysis – development of the object of desire and the object from which desire is derived (object small a [objet petit a]) through the structure of psychic apparatus and psychological processes motivated by libido, which positions the artist-author into the role of the primary, primordial viewer. For in-depth explanation of creation and operation of desire for the artistic author-viewer, the presented example is a photographer, who serves as a representative of a subject of desire and whose creative incentive is derived from the desire to see. The practical part presents the photographic and sculptural project Inalienabilis that was in fact created through consideration of the drive, which serves as an analysis of multiyear search of satisfaction through recreation of the chosen object – the object of desire.
