Marko Peljhan - The Park of Culture (TV situation) (00:07:44)
Subtitle: part of Media in Media exhibition
Production: Projekt Atol, SCCA-Ljubljana, VPK, 1996
If television bombards us with information, then this TV situation explicitly shows it. Images of earths' surface and human, especially technological activities on it are described in double captions, which look like stock quotes and differ in language (English and Slovene) and speed. The first line is describing, the second is explaining. The TV situation can be understood as a cradle for somebody discovering the world. The textual material is the translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of War and the compendium...

A short dramatic story in the form of an interview with the sculptor Eric Orr about his life and work in the sixties and seventies contucted by the musician Jim Rohing.

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...

Duba Sambolec - Questioning, Answering (58:25)
Subtitle: NoHomeVideos©
Production: Duba Sambolec, 1999
In the video we witness an interrogation of a woman with a blind over her eyes. Strict and somewhat violet interrogation is executed by the second female character. Eventually it becomes clear, that shots of both people were merged in postproduction. The viewer is therefore manipulated as is the video, and at the same time he/she takes on the role of an accomplice, as he/she accepts the game of the interrogator. NoHomeVideos© are 14 video performances, first presented at the International Festival of Co...

Production: Duba Sambolec, 2000
Two-channel video perfomance consists of two videos, Shadowless A and Shadowless B, which are screened side by side.

Duba Sambolec - Code III (03:49)
Subtitle: NoHomeVideos©
Production: Duba Sambolec, 2000
Video is composed of one long static extreme close-up of the author, while she repeats a completely trivial, common and consequently devalued request. Static and unfocused shot stresses the dullness of the sentence. NoHomeVideos© are 14 video performances, first presented at the International Festival of Contemporary Arts – City of Women in Ljubljana (2000), in which the author is dealing with the experience of being manipulated by the agents of power and control.

Duba Sambolec - Collectors #4 (12:02)
Subtitle: *Revisited*
Production: Duba Sambolec, 2003/2005
Paralelni sliki sta postavljeni na ozadje vojaškega vzorca. Na vsaki od projekcij je ena izmed performerk. Nataša Skušek skozi celoten video opravlja naporne vaje za telesno moč. Oblečena je v črno opravo, ki spominja na zaščitno obleko ameriških nogometašev. Enako obleko si Duba Sambolec počasi nadane in razlaga posamezne kose oprave, na primer: »Pas za zaščito genitalij«. Med oblačenjem sedi, kadi, pije in se pogovarja z nevidno osebo o z...
