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...

Zoran Srdić Janežič - Kapa (00:31:50)
Production: Kulturno umetniško društvo Inštitut za likovne in multimedijske raziskave Modri krog Kranj, 2002
The video humorously plays with the concept of voyeurism. Observation of a sleeping woman takes the cameraman and consequently the viewer, who takes a part of a voyeur together with the first, into the opposite direction. At first they both witness a naked female figure, who completely covers herself by adding more and more layers of clothing.

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.

Boštjan Kavčič - Obleka in stroj / Dress and Machine (0:02:08)
Production: 2002
Video performance unites two seemingly contradictory social environments. Inside a dirty, dark factory hall a huge machine swirls an evening gown to a tact of a Viennese waltz. Later a performer dances with the dress. With his performance the author brings poetics, the cultural and the fragile usually unattainable to the working class inside a factory, a symbol presenting the latter and in doing so, he is playing with the idea of fixed meanings.
