Andreja Džakušič - Unusual Pairs (00:14:23)
Production: 2002
Video is a photo slide show documentation of the project 'Unusual Pairs', created together with Radivoj Mulič at Likovni salon Celje in 2002. The two artists transformed the Likovni salon exhibition space into an apartment and offered visitors the possibility to use and make sense of the venue. It became a place to meet and socialise, in which the commonest things took place, from playing to sitting around, laying and cooking.

Iva Tratnik, Andreja Džakušič, IvAn - Umetnik – birokrat (00:22:59)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, 2018
Posnetek performansa Umetnik – birokrat tandema IvAn (Iva Tratnik in Andreja Džakušič), ki sta ga avtorici izvedli na odprtju razstave Zavihajmo rokave v Likovnem salonu Celje 8. maja 2018. Umetnici sta v performansu, ki sta ga napovedali kot mehanično zvočno-vizualni dogodek, obravnavali neizbežno in neprijetno delo, ki smo ga vsi prisiljeni namenjati vse bolj obsežnim birokratskim postopkom. Sledenje objavam v Uradnjem listu, prijavljanje na razpise, izpolnjevanje obrazcev je naporno, frustriraj...

Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - Stealing Land (07:15)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
The performance Stealing Land Dr Xenia performs on the land of the former Rakuš mill in Celje, a textbook example of capital appetites for plots in good locations, which evict ideas of non-profit spaces for culture intended for common and public good. The fight for territory begins and ends with incantations of masked performers dressed in black business attires: "I'm stealing, you're stealing, we're all stealing." (Source: excerpt of the curatorial text by Vesna Bukovec, Ana Grobler and Sebasti...

Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - The House of Cards (06:45)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
In the performance The House of Cards, Dr Xenia does not travel north or west by train, but in a south-easterly direction. On the route that led to Kumrovec in the previous country, but ends at the last station in front of the Croatian border in the new country, it tries to make a house out of cards. The impossible task is reminiscent of the inability to create safe life and home, which constantly elude refugees and migrants, as well as precarious workers of all ages, including cultural workers. At the end...

Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - Man, Don't Get Angry (19:34)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
Man, Don't Get Angry is first and foremost a feminist response to the familiar image of (dressed) Marcel Duchamp and (naked) Eva Babitz's chess game from 1963. It is also a reference to the performance Mojca ärgere dich nicht, which was performed by Petja Grafenauer, Zoran Srdić Janežič, and Simon Macuh in 2013 at the Red Dawn festival with the aim of defending the use of nudity in works of art. Here, next to the dressed women, there is a half-naked man, who does not get to make a move during the ga...

Dr. Xenia, Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik, Simon Macuh - Fart Roulette (06:39)
Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
The performance Fart Roulette is actually a picnic on the grass, which can be reminiscent of Manet's famous painting, although this time, everyone present is dressed. The title refers to Russian roulette, and the authors shoot farts instead of bullets. The parody deals with a serious topic of environmental pollution and its far-reaching consequences. Artists in Celje have been warning about local polluters (Cinkarna Celje and other industries) for a long time, but those responsible do not take them seriousl...

Production: SCCA-Ljubljana, Galerija Alkatraz, Festival Mesto žensk, 2021
The fifth in a series of performances - its title is also the title of the exhibition - is the only one where Dr Xenia performs live with audience participation. This performance is also defined by the space, the four corners of the Alakatraz Gallery form a boxing ring, which becomes the scene of fights. Despite the boxing equipment, there are no boxing matches in the ring, but various derivations of board games. All games (Mikado, Cards and Rock paper scissors) are usually played with the hands and playing...
