Cycle fragments : diploma thesisTamara Taskova, 2024, undergraduate thesis
Abstract: Installation art is a form of expression that revolves around the viewer’s experience. The thesis deals with the representation of menstruation in art, art installation, and mainstream media. While art installations can deal with menstruation in different ways, from evoking personal emotions to offering escapism, mainstream media tends to represent only one and thus helps to shape collective experiences. This distinction is reflected in how mainstream media often perpetuates the stigmatization of menstruation and maintains the status quo. These observations are presented through the conceptual development of the installation Cycle Fragments. Through the example of my own work, I will explore the ways of thinking while creating an abstract piece in three-dimensional space. This thesis provides insight into the chronological growth of a piece with the purpose of most honestly and successfully explaining to the public how very different and unique experience, menstruation can be.
