Production: Zavod CCC, 2007

Production: Zavod CCC, 2010
The turning of the time trace. The video presents the relativity of the linear comprehension of time. The Death is always present. Already Einstein revealed, that parallel time in reality does not exist. It was created by men for their consolation.

Zvonka T Simčič - Poezija (00:07:41)
Subtitle: (Slovenska verzija)
Production: Zavod CCC, 2015
This video is a coming-nearer – between the camerawoman/the video camera and the singer, the poet – the subtle video-touches. The opening ups/pursuits of the soft spots in the poet’s world, and all this imbued with everydayness – commonness, custom/ariness. The earth is at the same time mother, She is mother of all that is natural, mother of all that is human. She is the mother of all, for contained in her are the seeds of all. (Hildegarde of Bingen) (Source: Zvonka T Simčič)

Nataša Prosenc Stearns - Odalisque (00:03:21)
Production: Nataša Prosenc Stearns, 2016
Image of a woman reposing on a couch has been a popular motif for visual artist and a loaded subject for feminist discussions for a long time.

The body is semi-abstracted by the water curtain, which is partially obstructing the scene on the couch. So the image of the woman keeps escaping from the gaze in several driftnet ways: by changing its position, by disappea...
