High performative culture (Defying pressure to perform)

V teoretičnem delu magistrske naloge je povzeto, na kakšen način teoretik in kritik Jan Verwoert doživlja stalni pritisk za izvajanje. Predstavljeno je, kako je pritisku sodobne kulture po njegovem mnenju možno kljubovati. Opisano je, na kakšen način pritisk s strani kulture in družbe vpliva na naše psihično kot tudi fizično zdravje ter kako se s stresom spopadamo glede na naše osebnostne lastnosti. Podano je tudi razmišljanje sociologa Pierra Bourdieuja, ki poskuša odgovoriti na vprašanje, kako se vzpostavlja družbeni red. Za lažje razumevanje sodobne umetnosti je analizirano tudi delo Gerarda Wajcmana. Ta pa v svojem delu s pomočjo seciranja moderne umetnosti ter fenomena holokavsta išče in tudi najde odgovor na vprašanje, kaj je ključni objekt dvajsetega stoletja. V praktičnem delu magistrske naloge je pojasnjeno razmišljanje, ki me je privedlo do izvedbe mojega projekta, do kreacije herbarija oziroma fotoknjige Natura. Opisana sta potek izvedbe ter način prezentacije. Predstavljen je celoten projekt in tudi rastline, ki se nahajajo v herbariju.The theoretical part of my master thesis summarizes how the constant pressure to perform is experienced by critic Jan Verwoert. It is presented how - in his view - it is possible to defy the pressure of contemporary culture. It is described how the pressure that comes from culture and society affects our mental state, as well as our physical health and how well we are able to cope with stress according to our personality traits. The opinion of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, who is trying to answer the question on how the social order is established, is also given. The work of Gerard Wajcman is analyzed in order to facilitate my understanding of contemporary art. Through the exploration of modern art and the Holocaust phenomenon, he seeks and finds an answer to the question on what is a key object of the twentieth century. The practical part of my master thesis explains the thinking that led to the implementation of my project and to the creation of a herbarium. The course and presentation of the photographic series and the book Natura are described. The whole project is presented, as are the plants that are found in the herbarium
