Razstava, projekcija in pogovor o video in filmski produkciji zadnjih pet let. Leta 2006 je z naslovom Ameriške zgodbe postavila razstavo in predstavila svoja video dela in instalacije. Od takrat je naredila tudi že nekaj celovečernih filmov in bila pobudnica omnibusa Sokratova smrt, v katerem je sodelovalo 23 mednarodnih filmskih in video avtorjev.
The exhibition entitled Line Stroke the Letter is questioning the tension between the linguistic and pictorial poles that establishes the foundation for experimenting with and testing both the literary and the visual field. On Wednesday, September 25, a guided tour by Ida Hiršenfelder was followed by inspieringly sincretistic lecture performance by Dejan Habicht 12 Boring Poems.
Napetosti med jezikovnim in slikovnim omogočajo eksperimentiranje z literarnim in likovnim umetniškim izrazom. Dela na razstavi različnih žanrov (ilustracija, risba, stenska slika, tipografija, video, animacija, instalacija, elektronska knjiga, spletna umetnost) vzpostavljajo drugačne pristope k podobi in črki – tudi zato, da se v današnjem času tehnokratske rabe jezika spodbuja kritično »branje« likovnega ter »gledanje« literarnega in pripovednega. Na razstavi so predstavljena tudi nekatera video dela iz Postaje DIVA.
