Matevž Jerman, Peter Cerovšek - Ljubljana je Berlin (SBO) (03:18)
Production: SBO, 2021
By quoting well-known scenes from music videos, the video Ljubljana je Berlin (Ljubljana is Berlin) pays homage to the rich history of Slovenian music bands and the diverse visual and technological aesthetics of their videos from the beginning of the genre in the 1980s to the present day.

Subtitle: Iz kompilacije glasbenih video spotov skupine Borghesia 'Tako mladi'
Production: FV Video, ŠKUC Forum, 1985
The video creates dynamics by combining positive and negative versions of urban subcultural happening. Traditional and alternative culture are in constant battle. The text of the song is simple, reduced to a repetition of words, which don't follow the structure of a sentence. Video presents an information abundance and fills in the economic text.

Valérie Wolf Gang - Distant Memory (00:02:43)
Subtitle: English subtitles

Nika Oblak & Primož Novak - 900 m3 Sand (00:10:21)
Production: Universitätskulturzentrum UNIKUM, Klagenfurt in cooperation with section.a, Vienna, 2014
'900 m3 Sand' is a video installation created as a response to the specific site, a 1st world war cavern on mount Sabotin near Nova Gorica, Slovenia. The volume corresponds to the volume of the cavern dug out by soldiers mostly by hand in the course of 2 years. On Nika Oblak & Primož Novak's request a digger in a quarry composed a 900 m3 large pile of sand in a day. The action alludes to the absurd amount of the labor invested in constructing a battlefield and the pointlessness of warfare. (S...
