As the topic of my thesis I have chosen a scenic project. I have decided to create a model of a scenographic object in space that the viewers can observe from the outside inwards. They can look closer into my feelings which are portrayed artistically, materialized into a black cube which is a paraphrase of a doll house with nine rooms. It could also be called a gaze into my head where I put the viewer into a role of so-called ‘‘stalker‘‘ / observer who observes my privacy. As if a person was looking into someone‘s house or apartment from the outside - through a window.
I have created several scenes and I have though over each of them in a larger scale. Each window I tried to present visually in a very clear way. This is work only with associations, morphology and composition. In such a form it is still only a model (and in a way also a study) to its own scenic exhibition where the viewer becomes a part of the work after he sets his foot inside of each individual rooms and creates this object into a space for performance or possible interaction in between the visitors of the building.
My next goal was using as many technological processes as possible as well as using various materials. I worked with basic principles of composition, playing with the space, making the best of minimalism. Pure shapes and lines. I would create ideal space for human imagination. Shaped the object into a black cube with nine scenes. Objects created in the individual rooms and the choice of materials are selected through direct links and associations to the certain room. Each scene creatively refers to another idea or situation. Also, it can be viewed from two (or more) points of view. For example, as to paraphrase and a reference to various social issues of our time. On the other hand, it can be perceived as simply personal context of my persona and my frustration as an author. This work after all, is very personal for me. I have tried to materialize my experiences, feelings and emotions in each of the scenes so that the first thing that the viewers receive is the visual effect of the things and at the second glance they go even deeper in the memories and emotions.
