Nataša Prosenc Stearns - Backfill (00:03:35)
Production: 2012
Avtorica je video instalacijo prvotno zasnovala za in-situ postavitev v okviru likovnih prireditev Evropske prestolnice kulture Maribor v bastiji Pokrajinskega muzeja Maribor. Video instalacija je refleksija novega zgodovinskega prostora. S tremi paralelnimi projekcijami padajočih kamnov, zemlje in proda, je umetnica oživela celotni prostor. Avtorico je do zemeljskih materialov pripeljal razmislek o zgodovini srednjeveške gradnje, a naredila je delo, v katerem poetično oživijo sloji zgodovine kot plazo...

Ana Čigon - Dear Ladies, Thank You – Red Dawns (00:12:30)
Production: KUD Mreža, 2013
Dear Ladies, Thank You is an evolving performance that has been presented in several variations. The common thread that connects all versions is the discourse of the under-representation of women in art history, art theory, art institutions, and in the broader collective memory.

Neven Korda, Zemira Alajbegović - Autobus (00:11:10)
Production: TV Slovenija, 1993
The video starts with a graphic sign from which emerge images, and this procedure points to the fact that any documentary is but an artefact. The narrator searches through documents and reconstructs the life of Lela: in the Middle Ages she was accused of witchcraft; in the 20th century she finds herself in the midst of war, in the future she will leave the planet. Lela's individual destiny is being inscribed into the fate of humanity by means of layering the image; only television shots of the war in former...

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...

Anja Medved - Town in a Meadow (01:03:00)
Subtitle: video essay on Nova Gorica
Production: Kinoatelje, 2004
When the Primorska Region was annexed to Yugoslavía, the town of Gorica/Gorizia remained in Italy. In 1948, a new Gorizia (Nova Gorica) began to be built on the Yugoslav side. The town in a meadow, on a swamp, on an abandoned cemetery by an old brickyard has stood for long years like a skeleton in the middle of an empty space, alongside an immensely wide street that led nowhere. People who were moving to the town from half over the country soon discovered that they found themselves in the ‘Wild...
