Ema Kugler - Menhir (00:35:16)
Production: Forum Ljubljana, VPK & TV Slovenija, 1999
Urbanity is finally erased with mythological rituals, which is defined by the title of the video film: menhir, a large upright standing stone from the Neolithic Period which was used in sacred rituals. A man and a woman are Adam and Eve who are formed before us with electronic transformation (morphing) and are marked by blood, which also marks all the other elements of the video image: murder of an individual committed by a menhir or the trinity (politics, church, army), bodies of dancers. Blood, murder and...

Miha Vipotnik - Lenora (04:50)
Subtitle: From TV show with Matejo Koležnik and her friends
Production: RTV Ljubljana, 1983
A folk song about a girl and her deceased lover, sung by Mateja Koležnik and Jani Kovačič. The dialogue of the two singers is followed by a sublime transition from one face to the other. With a constant turning of positives and negatives of images the faces are placed into spaces, which indirectly follow the text of the song. Dynamics of the image show an unconcerned approach to a problem of a portrait, as the latter sporadically almost blends with the colours of the landscape. Due to complete reduction...

Nataša Skušek - Ecstasy (00:11:28)
Production: 2005
The video consists of ten close-up shots of the author's face while breastfeeding her daughter. The author got inflammation of the tissue in her breast or mastitis and shows the unpleasant, painful part of motherhood, which is usually depicted with idealized scenes of tenderness. Close-ups are mixed with video image disintegration effects (dissolve).

Ema Kugler - For the End of Time (02:05:28)
Production: Zank & VPK, 2009
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...

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...

Marko A. Kovačič - Casus belli (video performance) (00:04:54)
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...

Ana Grobler - Migraine (00:05:23)
Production: 2007
Video work is a migraine self portrait of the artist. The whole process of making the video was made in a period of a migraine seizure. Camera is static and tries to present the state of a patient suffering from a migraine seizure. The work focuses on a question whether a bigger number of women hurting from migraine then man is caused by social or biological predispositions. In the age between 30 and 40 a ratio is three women on one man, although in childhood it is the same for both sexes.
