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.

Evelin Stermitz - Concentration Camp of Ljubelj (0:14:33)
Production: 2004
At a cruel place, one woman moves; determined with pain, fears and depression but also with hope for a way out. The dancer is standing for the painful feeling of women in concentration camps, but also for physic and psychic discrimination of women in general. Actually this place is more imaginary and not bound to the real place as it could be any place where women suffer from cruelty and hopelessness, so it could be any woman who suffers from violence. The sense of feeling and moving is transferred into a c...

Evelin Stermitz - Rose is a Rose (0:03:53)
Production: 2008
This performative video work shows a woman engaged in covering her face with rose leaves. As a metaphor for the above and beyond term "beauty", the fragility of beauty and the canons of beauty, the video reveals an obscure image of woman, which is also shaped by transiency and impermanence. Excerpts from the poem "Sacred Emily" by Gertrude Stein, in which she created the sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.", form the sound collage to the video work.

Evelin Stermitz - Table Talk (0:02:35)
Production: 2008
In an exaggerated gender specific communication role, a woman is constantly giving positive encouragement towards an unseen male discussion partner, without having an own opinion, or something else to say then to support the counterpart. In this performative video work, a gendered communication role model is directed to an imaginary male opponent and describes how the usage of language can be defined as a relation and structure of power between the two social sexes.

Production: 2006
A female person is reflecting the structures and dynamics of Freud's model of the psyche in terms of an unresolved pattern. Researched parts of connections between the three layers of Freud"s model and women appear in the textline to represent some main thoughts about the complexity of (t)his system. A video installation of the intermediation of the ego between the id, the superego and the external world from a female perspective.

Evelin Stermitz - White Band Cut (0:09:25)
Production: 2007
The ritualised cutting of a white band wrapped around the body symbolizes the metaphoric disposal of inner and outer bonds as restrictions in an internal monologue. The woman can be seen as a gift as well as a captive. The white band describes muted halcyon segues flowing in a void space.

Nika Oblak & Primož Novak - Baby (0:04:13)
Production: 2003
The video Baby shows a sexy blonde in a cheesy environment overflown by colorful balloons. She is posing in front of the camera and telling jokes about stupid policemen, which rather evoke jokes about stupid blondes. In the atmosphere filled by common stereotypes, simplified representations and sweet laughter, we can hardly find humor in the end and jokes become ironic and bitter. Baby explores the ideological structure of jokes and creates an ironic display of prejudice in society. (Source: oblak-novak.or...

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...

Ana Nuša Dragan - In Medias Res (00:47:00)
Subtitle: Artistic video portrait of Metka Krašovec, a painter
Production: TV Slovenija, 2000
Metka Krašovec is a painter, an outsider, a loner, a world traveler, a professor and a wife. She is a fighter but as a woman, she has no problems in a man-determined world. On the contrary, it gives her a lot of freedom because she doesn't have to get involved in power games, which means she can work in peace. The driving force in her painting is not the exploration of language but existential experience, inner necessity, love and the search for God. Her life story is first guided by film image, her...

Ana Nuša Dragan - Ifigenija (00:56:32)
Subtitle: A portrait of Ifigenija Zagoričnik Simonovič
Production: TV Slovenija, 1994
My main concept was to present Ifigenia Zagoričnik-Simonović as a woman who managed to remain a woman in the world of men. It is a question of a woman - an artist, from the point of view of a woman who practiced various professions in order to survive. Today we know her as a renowned Slovenian poet, a woman whose pottery gives meaning to life and independence, a translator and a woman as a cultural ambassador and editor of Slovenian poetry. The portrait is conceptualized, it is a matter of communication -...

Zoran Srdić Janežič - The Ballet Teacher (00:07:56)
Production: Zavod za sodobne umetnisti in kulture Gulag, 2010
The Balet Teacher prikazuje seanso baletnega pouka v lutkarski izvedbi. Atmosfera je zelo dramatična, mogoče nekoliko nenavadna za takšno klišejsko temo. A ravno to povzroča napetost skozi cel video. Slika je skoraj popolnoma črno-bela in estetika videa mogoče nekolio spominja na nemške filme iz dvajsetih let. Ura baleta se konča neuspešno. Brez besed, samo s telesnim dialogom, je avtorju uspelo ustvariti močan karakter pri profesorju baleta. Moška dominacija je v filmu zelo izražena in že v...

Production: N.S., 2013
Videoperfomans je bil vključen na samostojno razstavo z naslovom Pravi moški v Galeriji Alkatraz leta 2014. Nataša Skušek v svojih delih obravnava stereotipne družbene, seksualne in družinske vloge, ki jih družba pripisuje ženskam. Dela na razstavi so se na humoren način osredotočala na partnerske odnose in vlogo moškega. Video Golica spremlja zvok živižganja istoimenske ponarodele melodije narodnozabavnega ansambla. Žvižganje daje tempo potresavanju ženske zadn...

Evelin Stermitz - The Art of Aging (00:03:29)
Production: E.S., 2011
A black and white video shows the artist's portrait against a white background. With the help of a exaggerated make-up, which creates more and more age lines on the face and neck, the artist criticizes the exploitment of a youth-obsessed culture by cosmetics industry. Names of the rejuvenating and anti-age creams and related products are scrolling at the bottom. They are red out loud by a slow and distorted voice.

Nataša Prosenc Stearns - Mud (excerpts) (00:09:59 (00:01:59))
Production: 2009
Blato je zgodba o izvoru življenja, v kateri ženska izoblikuje samo sebe iz naravnega materiala – iz tekocega blata, ki je nasičen s čutnostjo, prožnostjo in kreativnim potencialom. Zgodba je tudi pripoved o razmerju med prosto spreminjajoco se naravo in določenostjo s kulturo ter soobstoju obeh elementov v eni osebi. Motiv igranega video dela je avtorski prikaz mita o kreaciji ženske, ki vstane iz živega blata in stopi na pot transformacije oziroma civiliziranja. Video spremljajo terenski posn...

Nataša Prosenc Stearns - Mother for Dinner (00:12:12)
Production: Koprodukcija: Maribor, 2012
Družinsko srečanje z obedom. Na prvi pogled zgleda kot povsem normalen obisk šestih hčera pri njihovi mami. Vendar pa imajo ženske blasfemičen načrt. Da bi ostale za večno mlade, bodo žrtvovale svojo mamo v mešanici šamanističnega rituala s popularnimi znanstvenimi izsledki na področju raziskovanja in delovanja DNK. Hčerke izvedejo sodobni okultistični ritual. Zgodba temelji na slovenski pripovedi o delovanju čarovnic iz 16. stoletja.
