Martina Bastarda, Mateja Ocepek, Nataša Skušek - Pissing (0:04:28)
Production: 2002
Video work by three artists establishes a feministic social critique with an act of urinating in public. The authors in elegant costumes are placed into an idyllic snowy landscape. They take down their tights, lift their skirts and start urinating in a pose completely acceptable for a male. Seemingly vulgar scene deals with fixated roles, which are naturalized and as such attributed to sexes. (DIVA)

Tomaž Furlan - Wear I (00:03:23)
Subtitle: Wear series
Production: Tomaž Furlan, 2005
Video is a part of a series of studio performances Wear compounded of eight works. The artist becomes a cyborg - a man sculpture. He is wearing massive concrete sculptural elements, which make his movements stiff and difficult. With clumsy performance of everyday household chores he humorously deals with the paradox of a life routine with machines, which are supposed to make our life easier and which mentally and ideologically determine the freedom of movement and thinking. Video works were made between 2004...

Uršula Berlot - Pulsation (0:02:41)
Production: Uršula Berlot, 2007
The video combines medical recordings of the brain and computer manipulation of those images. This animated image becomes symmetrical and dehumanized. We get a completely abstract arena, which reminds us of outer space. The author's cerebral area becomes the starting point for the unpredictable travel of light beams. (Source: DIVA)

Marko A. Kovačič - Casus belli (video performance) (00:04:54)
Subtitle: Montage of video performance & performanse of the same title
Production: 1983
Recording of a video performance at the 1st International Video Biennale Video CD in Ljubljana, in which the video was included as a constitutive part of the event: the artist's gestures were shown from behind on monitors arranged at the edges of the venue with the help of eight video cameras. The frontal "representational" silhouette image shown on the canvas was thus counterpointed by revealing the artist's flesh-and-blood body behind the canvas, who ultimately stepped in front of the audience and perform...

Vesna Bukovec - Champion (0:00:32)
Production: Vesna Bukovec, 2005
Video work based on an editing manipulation of a found material shows a half-minute video rewind of a weigh lifter's performance on the Eurosport channel. This extremely difficult discipline gets a different context due to skillful editing.

Evelin Stermitz - Inside the Outside (0:05:33)
Production: 2006
Moving beyond a surface, an outside, a window into a different world - what are the reasons for moving within a certain space of femininity? The questions of the moving shape circulate around the other, the captured difference, the identity and the self. By acting as a body with its language, this remains from the self and questioning shape. The body as a shape for self-reflective questions within a female room seemingly protected against the outside but exposed to the gaze.

Ana Čigon - One More Kick (0:04:35)
Production: Ana Čigon, 2009
'One More Kick' is a performative video in which the author is tackling a wall, trying to move it with great effort. She tries really hard and seemingly pushes it around the frame, using the method of measuring the edges of the screen, used by the early video artists questioning mass media and television which captures reality. With the help of technical means and performative action the author plays with the perception of space and reality. Video caries ironic message slowly uncovered in the text...

Maja Slavec - Revaluation (00:42:19)
Production: Partizanka, 2008
Video polje je reducirano na krog. Reducirano zato ker je še vedno prisotna črna površina, ki tvori razliko do pravokotnika. Krožna oblika in snemanje s ptičje persepktive ustvarjajo klaustrofobično vzdušje in akterjem ukradejo volumen. Volumen tako beremo bolj preko senc, kot preko perspektive. Subjekti prihajajo in odhajajo iz krožnega polja, plesalcu pa je krog tudi celotno polje delovanja. Avtorica se sprašuje o stopnji avtonomije, ki jo ima posameznik v družbi.
