Subtitle: ...Not Knowing a Word in English
Production: 2002
The artist has filmed his mother who reads to him over the phone the rejection letter from the British embassy to which the artist has applied for scholarship: “I applied for the scholarship.

Evelin Stermitz - A Gift for the Moon (0:03:37)
Production: E.S., 2004
This video is an interpretation of the poem by Maja Haderlap. It shows a moving and twisting face in the dark. The face seems to observe the spectator, so it is a break and change of the traditional rules of watching and being watched at the normal situation of the spectator watching television. The poem deals like the video with watching, looking and finding something. (Source: Evelin Stermitz) Music: Iva Bittová, kapitulni sin, 1994.

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.

Evelin Stermitz - Structural Model (0:03:00)
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. This performance video work has been realized at International S...

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.
