Production: ZANK, VPK & TV Slovenija, 1999
A documentary Within Four Walls (orig. Med štirimi stenami) problematizes violence towards women through stories of those who ran away from it and found help in shelters.

Nataša Skušek - Fliperautomat (00:02:47)
Production: 2005
V videu se na štirih slikah, ki se izmenjujejo na ekranu, odvijajo mitološka ženska opravila: kuhanje, pranje, likanje, masiranje, dojenje. Vlogam sodobne ženske - delavke, negovalke, žene, ljubice, urejene lepotice - avtorica dodaja še vlogo matere. Če se je prejšnjim vlogam lahko še nekako izognila, vlogo matere mora sprejeti. Seveda obstaja razlika med posameznimi družbenimi vlogami, ki jih predpisuje socialni okvir, in pa biološkimi, kot je materinstvo.

Neven Korda, Dario Seraval, Zemira Alajbegović - ZMR (00:03:49)
Subtitle: From a compilation of the Borghesia music video clips So Young
Production: FV Video, ŠKUC Forum, 1985
Video work is a somewhat atypical video for a song by a group borghesia: static, monumental, melancholic. Author recreates an urban space by combining empty recordings of modern and neoclassical architecture. A lonely female figure almost constantly poses statically is placed inside a completely utopic atmosphere. This surrounding totally deadens the only present character, reduces it to a state of sculpture, where the vividness of the skin and minimal movement is barely noticeable. (DIVA) Video is a part...

Duba Sambolec - I Don't Remember (02:00:31)
Subtitle: NoHomeVideos©
Production: Duba Sambolec, 1999/2000
In a video performance lasting for 120 minutes the author with blinded eyes and heavy luggage staggers in front of a big projection following a rail. She is guided by a strict, ordering and violet male voice, which wants to make her get out of the screen, of the visual field and metaphorically out of public life. The movement on the tracks occasionally turns, the train goes backwards in its own path. The movement of the train is edited, usually with the transition from the darkness. NoHomeVideos© are 14...

Martina Bastarda, Mateja Ocepek, Nataša Skušek - Pissing (0:04:28)
Production: 2002
Video work by three artists establishes a feministic social critique with an act of urinating in public. The authors in elegant costumes are placed into an idyllic snowy landscape.

Seemingly vulgar scene deals with fixated roles, which are naturalized and as such attributed to sexes. (DIVA)

Evelin Stermitz - Gender Transmission (0:03:03)
Subtitle: WO:MAN # 1 WO:MAN # 2
Production: 2005
The two videos question the relation and boundaries between man and woman in a philosophic and psychological manner. Like in the psychological theory of Jacques Lacan woman and man mirror themselves in terms of "the Other", so this is the issue of these videos. By establishing two mirrors through video, the situation resembles a real mirror, where man and woman are confronted to each other. There is always a surface, a shape for interacting constructed here through a digital code. But what will remain is al...

Evelin Stermitz - Inside the Outside (0:05:33)
Production: 2006
Moving beyond a surface, an outside, a window into a different world - what are the reasons for moving within a certain space of femininity? The questions of the moving shape circulate around the other, the captured difference, the identity and the self. By acting as a body with its language, this remains from the self and questioning shape. The body as a shape for self-reflective questions within a female room seemingly protected against the outside but exposed to the gaze.
