Damijan Kracina - Kracina TV (00:05:48)
Production: 1995
Hiperrealističen kip avtorja iz lateksa stoji sredi prostora v Galeriji Kapelica, kjer je umetnik prvič postavil instalacijo. Nizek podstavek kipa je povezan s sedmimi monitorji, v katere je uprt pogled figure. Na svetlobnih objektih so prikazane fotografije povoženih mačk. Instalacija prikazuje dvojno smrt oziroma dvojno odsotnost življenja. Mrtve so povožene mačke, neživ pa je tudi kip umetnika. S podobami mrtvih mačk umetnik ni opozoril zgolj na krut odnost človeka do živali, na davek človeko...

Zmago Lenardič - Suicide (00:04:10)
Production: Zmago Lenardič, 2006
Video explores the dynamics of a tragic event like the suicide by hanging. The digital colour manipulation of the images isolates the scene from any context, emphasizing it on a dazzling background. The action, perceived in its essential elements, gains a dramatic and at the same time theatrical connotation, despite the surreal inversion of the roles between the man and the chair. By focusing on the intensity of the event thanks to a static shot and few close-ups, the video generates confusion between subje...
