1. Cycle fragments : diploma thesisTamara Taskova, 2024, diplomsko delo Opis: 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.

4. Temna slika : Podoba, zgubljena v temiRawan F. A. Alhourani, 2018, magistrsko delo Opis: Motivacija za to magistrsko delo je bilo avtoričino iskanje
podobe; prav določene podobe, izgubljene v najglobljih predelih
našega uma. Iskanje podobe, ki je nikoli nismo videli ali
doživeli; podobe, ki je še nihče nikoli ni videl, ter ob tem
izzvati čutila in človeško naravo v danem trenutku.
Namen dela je iskati odgovore in si zastaviti vprašanja o tem,
kako zelo ljudje zaupajo svojim čutom, ter se spraševati o
njihovi zmožnosti, da spremenijo svoje vedenje in svoje rutine.
Opazovati, ali si za nekaj sekund drznejo ugasniti luč in s tem
pridobijo sposobnost, da vidijo na drugačen način. Ne preseneča
dejstvo, da se ljudje močno zanašajo na svoj vid, zaradi česar
preostala čutila postanejo nekako manj pomembna in zanesljiva.
To delo z naslovom "Temna podoba – podoba, ki smo jo izgubili v
temi", raziskuje moč podobe pri manipulaciji množice in vlogo
medijev pri nadzoru in pranju možganov pripadnikom nove
generacije.
V magistrskem delu avtorica najprej predstavi projekte "Kumra
1", "Kumra 2" in "Kaj vidiš v temi?" – poskuse, izvedene v prvem
in drugem letu raziskovanja, skozi katere predstavi analizo in
opazovanje svojih eksperimentov. Ti predstavljajo začetek
raziskovanja čutil v popolni temi, ki je nato pripeljalo do
"Sestavljanke", praktičnega dela te naloge, ki se sprašuje o
medijski manipulaciji z uporabo podobe.
