Upodobitev duševnih motenj v fotografiji

V diplomski nalogi se bom ukvarjala s tem, kako s pomočjo fotografije prikazati, za kakšno duševno stanje oziroma duševno motnjo gre. Ukvarjala se bom z upodobitvijo krhkih vizualnih podob, ki jih bom dosegla predvsem z napakami v fotografskem postopku in z uničevanjem filmskih negativov. S svojo fotografsko serijo želim prikazati mentalna stanja in občutke, ki jih posameznik doživlja pri določeni duševni motnji. S svojim diplomskim delom želim bolje spoznati duševne motnje, jih analizirati, in to upodobiti skozi avtorsko serijo fotografij. Raziskovala bom avtorje, ki se ukvarjajo z duševnimi boleznimi, zgodovino upodabljanja duševnih bolezni v umetnosti, duševne motnje in na kakšne načine jih lahko prikažemo s fotografijo. My thesis highlights the depiction of mental illness and state of mind through photography. I will be exploring fragile visual representations and portraying them mostly by errors in the photographic process along with destroying the negatives of the film. The intent of my photographic series is to illustrate various mental and emotional states as experienced by individuals with a specific mental illness. In my thesis I want to learn about various mental illnesses, analyse them and portray them through my original photo series. I will focus on authors who are exploring the complex issues of mental health and emotions through photographic projects and artworks, depiction of mental illness in art history, mental illness in general and how to depict them with photography.
