Ema Kugler - Hydra (00:15:45)
Production: V.S. Video, Forum Ljubljana, VPK, 1993
Mythology in the video works by Ema Kugler is inscribed in rituals of everyday life; this time it is the theme of Hydra with many facets. The theme is represented by the separate scenes featuring human figures in leather costumes (created by the artist herself) that constrain their movements, thus emphasizing their separation from nature. The last trace of their respective connection is shown in a ritual relationship between a man and a bull, although even this relationship involves man's deeply ingrained c...

Jurij Korenc - Svetloba sence (0:27:20)
Subtitle: predstava Svetloba giba, svetloba sence
Production: Cankarjev dom, Viba film, Studio 37, 1987
The video shows the process of making a sculpture; static shots accompanied by dramatic ambient music show frozen and moving images of sculpting material – clay. The sculptress’s hands begin to knead the material and shape it into a figurine. Hand movements are slow and quite elegant; the scenes change into an abstract, clouded image of dancing figurines which are becoming increasingly clearer. The end result of the process is a standing female nude.

Damijan Kracina, Katarina Toman Kracina - Marmelada / Marmalade (00:03:37)
Production: 2004
Are you familiar with that tingling feeling somewhere that emerges around the root of your tongue when you eat marmalade without bread and butter? The marmalade sticks to your palate and its taste lingers in your mouth for a long time. It's that special home-made marmalade, saturated with sugar. In the video Marmalade, we get to know yet another, truly practical usage of that sweet mélange. In some parts, they once used to spread it on the tiles, which were keeping the heat of the wooden stove apart f...

Ema Kugler - Station 25 (00:30:08)
Production: Forum Ljubljana & VPK, 1997
The artist continues with her main preoccupations: the relationship between a man and a woman, the irruption of the mythical into the rituals of everyday life. The video film uses the numerous potentials of electronic manipulation of the picture. The finest scenes are those of "morphing" (electronic transformation), where a figure from a painted canvas turns into an identical figure on the video screen, or the latter "freezes" into a figure on a fixed picture. The artist once again insists on the real natur...

Ema Kugler - The Visitor (00:26:41)
Production: V.S. Video / Forum Ljubljana, VPK & Viba film, 1995
The artist insists on the duality of human nature: the same dreadfulness is part of both the mythical and the real world. The duality is explicitly presented by means of electronic effects that can petrify a human face, or wall-up a human body in a few seconds. Human figures dressed in extravagant costumes are returned back to nature by means of electronic effects: a man in a costume reminiscent of a bird transforms into a real bird. The costumed and real birds are accentuated by the bird's eye view, which...

Neven Korda, Zemira Alajbegović - The Sand Collectors (00:12:34)
Production: V.S. Video / Forum Ljubljana & TV Slovenija, 1995
Video work tells a story of an art collector as remembered by herself in her old age, and as narrated by her friend, a psychoanalyst. Thru this narrative the authors deal with the spirit of avant-garde art in the first half of the 20th century. By layering black and white and colour images and sounds the work creates a deep and lively emotional space. (Source: Videodokument)

Ema Kugler - Menhir (00:35:16)
Production: Forum Ljubljana, VPK & TV Slovenija, 1999
Urbanity is finally erased with mythological rituals, which is defined by the title of the video film: menhir, a large upright standing stone from the Neolithic Period which was used in sacred rituals. A man and a woman are Adam and Eve who are formed before us with electronic transformation (morphing) and are marked by blood, which also marks all the other elements of the video image: murder of an individual committed by a menhir or the trinity (politics, church, army), bodies of dancers. Blood, murder and...

Zmago Lenardič - Big Blue Subway (00:12:42)
Production: VPK & White Balance, 2000
Video tematizira odtujenost velikega urbanega središča s posnetki utrujenih, spečih ljudi na newyorški podzemni železnici. Pripisana beseda se nanaša na njihove misli ali sanje, odmik od realnosti odtujenega velemesta. Sprevračana je v temačno odisejado individualiziranega mestnega življenja preko osebnih zgodb malih ljudi, osamljenih meščanov.

This video features no words, only music and images. Ema Kugler describes the moving images as: “They are like a dark, surrealist dance of everyman with his own death. I have seen all these images. They came from the darkness of my subconsciousness, colonized me and obsessed me.” The video shows images, which together with the accompanying music give an impression of the infinite and the divine and being sucked into an abyss from where there is no return.
