Nika Oblak & Primož Novak - Explosion (0:00:16)
Production: 2003
The video shows Primož Novak being blown up. It plays with idea that artists have to exert a tremendous amount of effort in order to be successful, and at the same time, it mocks the strategy of shocking the audience as a formula for quick success-a strategy that is very familiar to our commercially oriented contemporary society.

Production: E.S., 2004

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.

Ana Grobler - Soči (00:02:38)
Production: 2006
Video work devoted to the Soča River is composed of close up photographs of the author's face and recordings of the river. The intertwinement of both creates an impression of unusual worlds. As images of the face interlace into an image of the river, the limits between human and nature are lost. The face fades into the river flow and the limits between solid and liquid, concrete and abstract, known and unknown vanish. When there is nothing you can grasp on, new key points must be created. Video is mea...
