Summary/Abstract: FNAF - Festival of Naked Forms - was held this year for the seventh time in a row in Prague, Holešovice, on the Altenburg boat in September 10-12, 2021. The idea of the festival was conceived by Lenka Klodová, artist and teacher at Brno University of Technology at the Faculty of Fine Arts (FaVU), where she runs the Body Design Studio. Klodová’s practice can be called body discourse. It is being developed comprehensively in many fields: research, artistic creation and education. Her pedagogy and artistic practice assume being open to various functional aspects of the body, with particular focus on the naked body. Studies on the visual form of a naked body aim to discover and test the ways of cognition and self-cognition through one’s own body. It is therefore a phenomenologically-oriented activity. However, in the special case of the artistperformer, the entire body (somatic) and mental condition is also the source of the work. Hence, a performance art work is both a visual form and a discursive form (in dialogue with its context). It is therefore a training in critical thinking about the surrounding world as an object of cognition.
