Production: D.M. in Fotopub, 2017
Documentation of an intervention in a public space, performed by the artist together with the team of Fotopub festival in Novo mesto. In his public actions, Danilo Milovanović often criticizes capitalist-consumer urban reality in a humorous manner. With the help of nature he creates smybolic resistence.

Danilo Milovanović - Plastic Makes It Static (00:03:17)
Production: D.M. in Fotopub, 2017
Privatization and profit-making treatment of water resources is becoming an increasingly profitable business. Drinking water, which is vital for humans, should in no way be a commercial commodity that fills the shelves of supermarkets in hundreds of bottles of different brands. What would happen if all the water was packed and prevented from uninterrupted circulation in the nature? I recognized the fountain as an illustration of the hydrosphere in the urban area. That is the scene of my intervention. T...

Danilo Milovanović - Product (00:06:27)
Production: D.M., 2017
The goal of the intervention is to place the product, as a cell of consumer society, somewhere where it is not expected. The first step of the intervention is visiting supermarkets and collecting authentic brand labels found on imported fruit. This fruit represents the majority of accessible fruit on the market. The second step is to paste the stickers on the still groving fruits of a living tree. With this, I wanted to achieve 'branded' fruit effect before it became recognized as an 'edible product of natu...

Lea Culetto - (Without) (00:02:48)
Production: L.C., 2017
The video is a collage of numerous advertisements for cosmetic products showing the female body in seductive poses. Their rapid exchange is disrupted by digital glitches. The sound in the video consists of a quote from the text Foucault, Femininity and the Modernization of Patriarchal Power by Sandra Lee Bartky. The author of the video reads the part of the text listing cosmetic products that a woman is supposed to use to achieve the perfect look.

Lea Culetto - Reveal The Goddess In You (00:00:42)
Production: L.C., 2017
Video superimposes home footage of shaving in the bathroom with footage of shaving from commercials for cosmetic depilatory products. The third layer superimposes the text constructed of advertising slogans of cosmetic brands. The title of the work is taken from one of the slogans and ironically complements the visual contrast between reality and the idealized image of the female body. The video has no sound.

Luksuz produkcija - Hard (05:59)
Production: Luksuz produkcija, 2019
The film explores ethics and aesthetics of pleasure. Short film Naporno/Hard is an attempt to challenge status quo of normative heterosexual pornography. Filmmakers take us on a journey through images that were made to give viewers pleasure: from “naive” erotic found footage to close-ups of porn actresses and queer fetishist images. What do people on both sides of the screen feel? As feminists we ask ourselves about the responsibility that we as viewers, consumers and producers of erotic and po...

Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - Stealing Land (07:15)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
The performance Stealing Land Dr Xenia performs on the land of the former Rakuš mill in Celje, a textbook example of capital appetites for plots in good locations, which evict ideas of non-profit spaces for culture intended for common and public good. The fight for territory begins and ends with incantations of masked performers dressed in black business attires: "I'm stealing, you're stealing, we're all stealing." (Source: excerpt of the curatorial text by Vesna Bukovec, Ana Grobler and Sebasti...
