Jatun Risba - Getting Gold (11:07)
Production: Jatun Risba & Franco G. Livera, 2019
Getting Gold is a vanitas video that questions the impact of value systems on ideas of authorship and art-making. The video performance between Jatun Risba, Franco G. Livera and Daniele Semeraro is a meditation on the fugacity of existence in all its forms. Bodies are growing (g)old, human behaviors are becoming outdated, wild species are getting extinct and technologies obsolete. Amidst the impermanence of life, what is worth doing? (Source: author)

Nataša Berk - Eine Revolution Ohne Tanzen Ist Eine Revolution Die Sich Nicht Lohnt (03:36)
Production: N.B., 2011/12

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.
