Marko A. Kovačič - American Dream (00:06:43)
Production: Brut film, 1986
An ambivalent deconstruction of fantasies about the promised land and faith in art, which is carried out through the stereotypical game of infinite hide-and-seek. It is a dialectic confrontation of the certain heroics of the regime that operated by prohibitions and its own detachment from the people, with the proclamation of a rapprochement with Western systems of liberal capitalism.

Amir Muratović - From the Life of Books (00:03:55)
Production: Muratović, Amir, 2010/2011
The video consists of various scenes of browsing through books. The author focuses primarily on the movements of the readers' hands and their interaction with the book. The abstract image of the book pages is due to the delay in the montage. Since the noise of browsing is not in line with the motion, the act of reading gets additional dramaturgical tension.

Vesna Bukovec - It Will Be OK (00:03:34)
Production: V.B., 2009
A woman sitting on a white sofa is petting a stuffed toy and in a slow rhythm convincing it and iherself that "it will be ok". This mantric exhortation works like a parody of the power of suggestive thoughts promoted by popular new age movements. We can only see the woman's torso. The dominant white color indicates innocence. Video has no music accompaniment.

Vesna Bukovec - Personal Advice (00:00:59)
Production: V.B., 2010
Personal advice first seems like a secret being revealed by a soft voice, telling us to take its advice. This advice is a completely absurd series of words, which as we soon find out is taken out of astrological forecasts. Visual representation of the video is completely impersonal. The screen is divided into two levels of text also read by an android voice saying: »This is not the best time for an activity plan which calls for art diplomacy and caution as you tend to be extremely simple direct and po...

Vesna Bukovec - I can create positive change (00:02:30)
Production: V.B., 2010
Video is a part of White Performances / Positive Affirmations, a series calling out the deceptiveness of the ostensible happiness and illusions about a perfect life. We see a woman cleaning and chanting a mantra, which is a parody pointing out the absurdity of work automatism especially with so called women chores like cleaning, putting on make-up or knitting. The mantra also reminds us of new age lifestyle which promotes the power of suggestive thoughts. Music is light and easygoing, image is clean and imm...

Zoran Srdić Janežič - The Ballet Teacher (00:07:56)
Production: Zavod za sodobne umetnisti in kulture Gulag, 2010
The Balet Teacher prikazuje seanso baletnega pouka v lutkarski izvedbi. Atmosfera je zelo dramatična, mogoče nekoliko nenavadna za takšno klišejsko temo. A ravno to povzroča napetost skozi cel video. Slika je skoraj popolnoma črno-bela in estetika videa mogoče nekolio spominja na nemške filme iz dvajsetih let. Ura baleta se konča neuspešno. Brez besed, samo s telesnim dialogom, je avtorju uspelo ustvariti močan karakter pri profesorju baleta. Moška dominacija je v filmu zelo izražena in že v...
