Damijan Kracina - Žeblji / Nails (00:06:34)
Production: Akademija za likovno umetnost, Ljubljana, 1995
The black-and-white footage of a performance shot from a static camera dates to the time when the artist was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. The performer looks at sculpted busts, and hammers nails into them, seeking a way to examine the traditional sculptural format without employing a process of construction or deconstruction. The work is also humorous, as if the artist were trying to say that the sculpture is ‘hammered’ in the head.

Srečo Dragan, Ana Nuša Dragan - Grand Finale (00:12:05)
Production: RTV Beograd in Studentski kulturni centar Beograd, 1983
Here the discussion of video art is figured visually as well. A woman brings a videocassette to a man, and he inserts it into a video machine. The cassette features critics discussing in a variety of languages. The work aims to represent the subject of new art in an apparently documentary way, while its fragments play on fictitious stereotypes, thus imparting an ironic aspect: the woman is dressed as a gangster, she stabs the man, and a red and blue stain appears on his shirt.

Marko A. Kovačič - Song of Flesh and Image Was Made Body (00:15:56)
Production: ŠKUC - Forum / koprodukcija Marijan Osole - Max, 1985
The story of the narrative is based on the genre of crime fiction. The images are filled with citations from the history of art and cinema (Man Ray, Sergei Eisenstein) and are further stratified and multiplied. The dynamics of the image fraught with typical cinematic suspense is matched with the music full of suspense (Bernard Herrmann). (Source: DIVA)

Damijan Kracina - Kocka / Cube (0:03:39)
Production: 1995
A group event staged in public spaces - at a bus stop and in the garden of the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana - took place on 22 March, World Water Day. The event was intended to draw attention to this day not by moralising, but by emphasising the joy of living. The main element in the video is a sponge cube with holes, which hides the artist. The water theme is further emphasised by the prevailing blue colour of the picture. The members of the group water the sponge at both locations – the bus sto...

Alenka Pirman, Maja Šubic - Ajiaco (0:05:15)
Production: Ljudmila, 1998
In this video by Alenka Pirman and Maja Šubic, the artists present the traditional Colombian dish ajiaco and through photographs describe the land and culture in which it originates. Adhering strictly to the cooking show genre, they set about preparing a dish that, from now on, we too can make for ourselves in Slovenia. A certain irony is audible in what the artists say, although the tone of their speech is never less than proper. At the end of the video they enjoy the ajiaco with the popular singer Jan Pl...
