Production: Likovni salon Celje, 2011
S projektom obleka … človeka, ki je bil leta 2010 razstavljen v Likovnem salonu, je skupina dveh umetnic in umetnika raziskovala, v kolikšni meri obleka določa človekovo identiteto, koliko se s spremembo zunanje podobe spremeni odnos drugih. Za produkcijo razstave je neformalna skupina, ki so jo ustanovili ravno za razstavo obleka ... človeka, naredila serijo javnih intervencij, s katerimi so motili ustaljene oblačilne navade. Med drugim so se ukvarjali z nenavadnim pojavom specializirani...

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...

Ema Kugler - Taiga (00:08:22)
Production: Forum Ljubljana & VPK, 1996
Video Taiga is made after eponymous performance carried out at the international festival of contemporary arts City of women in October 1995 in Ljubljana.

Production: Škuc - Forum, 1983
The video was made on a basis of an eponymous performance from 1983 by Marko Kovačič. in which the author combines elements of sculpture, space, geometry, physicality, action, and music.

Goran Devide - Sovražnik (0:04:28)
Production: Škuc-Forum, FV video, 1984
Computer animation is a music video for a song by group Borghesia. The author uses formally simple animation, which due to light line on a blue surface, creates an illusion of depth. Strong contrast functions aggressively. Animated anthropomorphic figures move together and one against the other, but there is always tension between them. The animation is author's interpretation of estranged and shallow civilization. ------- Borghesia (1983 - 1939) was a multimedia group (concert performance, video...

Borut Savski - Bowlfuls of Sound (00:03:34)
Production: 2008
Two sperical bowls (from the Dancers series) have simple motorics and a bit more complex sensorics. They are susceptible to the sound they hear, but they also coproduce the sound (compressed microphony). This is why the bowls are full of sound. They can see each other (infrared sensor) and then they change direction. This should allow for the bowls to slowly zigzag closer to each other, which doesn’t really interests us anymore, but for the bowls this may be defined as a motive (with human it could be...

The video film is an investigation on man and his smallness in front of nature and time, the story is told by a voice-over narrator, with no dialogues between the characters. The camera slowly moves horizontally in panoramic views showing bright wide desert landscapes crossed by traces of death, alternated with futuristic interiors. Computer generated imagery plays an important role in this last work as in the previous ones by Ema Kugler and contributes to the creation of recurrent enviroments which are a p...

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. They take down their tights, lift their skirts and start urinating in a pose completely acceptable for a male. Seemingly vulgar scene deals with fixated roles, which are naturalized and as such attributed to sexes. (DIVA)

Tomaž Furlan - Wear I (00:03:23)
Subtitle: Wear series
Production: Tomaž Furlan, 2005
Video is a part of a series of studio performances Wear compounded of eight works. The artist becomes a cyborg - a man sculpture. He is wearing massive concrete sculptural elements, which make his movements stiff and difficult. With clumsy performance of everyday household chores he humorously deals with the paradox of a life routine with machines, which are supposed to make our life easier and which mentally and ideologically determine the freedom of movement and thinking. Video works were made between 2004...

Uršula Berlot - Pulsation (0:02:41)
Production: Uršula Berlot, 2007
The video combines medical recordings of the brain and computer manipulation of those images. This animated image becomes symmetrical and dehumanized. We get a completely abstract arena, which reminds us of outer space. The author's cerebral area becomes the starting point for the unpredictable travel of light beams. (Source: DIVA)

Subtitle: Montage of video performance & performanse of the same title
Production: 1983
Recording of a video performance at the 1st International Video Biennale Video CD in Ljubljana, in which the video was included as a constitutive part of the event: the artist's gestures were shown from behind on monitors arranged at the edges of the venue with the help of eight video cameras. The frontal "representational" silhouette image shown on the canvas was thus counterpointed by revealing the artist's flesh-and-blood body behind the canvas, who ultimately stepped in front of the audience and perform...

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.

Ana Čigon - One More Kick (0:04:35)
Production: Ana Čigon, 2009
'One More Kick' is a performative video in which the author is tackling a wall, trying to move it with great effort. She tries really hard and seemingly pushes it around the frame, using the method of measuring the edges of the screen, used by the early video artists questioning mass media and television which captures reality. With the help of technical means and performative action the author plays with the perception of space and reality. Video caries ironic message slowly uncovered in the text...

Maja Slavec - Revaluation (00:42:19)
Production: Partizanka, 2008
Video polje je reducirano na krog. Reducirano zato ker je še vedno prisotna črna površina, ki tvori razliko do pravokotnika. Krožna oblika in snemanje s ptičje persepktive ustvarjajo klaustrofobično vzdušje in akterjem ukradejo volumen. Volumen tako beremo bolj preko senc, kot preko perspektive. Subjekti prihajajo in odhajajo iz krožnega polja, plesalcu pa je krog tudi celotno polje delovanja. Avtorica se sprašuje o stopnji avtonomije, ki jo ima posameznik v družbi.
