Production: 2003
The video shows Nika Oblak & Primož Novak having picnic in a snowy landscape next to a highway. The postcard-like landscape is beautiful to look at, but it also isolates Oblak & Novak from the rest of the world.

Evelin Stermitz - Gender Transmission (0:03:03)
Subtitle: WO:MAN # 1 WO:MAN # 2
Production: 2005
The two videos question the relation and boundaries between man and woman in a philosophic and psychological manner. Like in the psychological theory of Jacques Lacan woman and man mirror themselves in terms of "the Other", so this is the issue of these videos. By establishing two mirrors through video, the situation resembles a real mirror, where man and woman are confronted to each other. There is always a surface, a shape for interacting constructed here through a digital code. But what will remain is al...

Mladen Stropnik - Momriding (0:04:23)
Subtitle: ...Not Knowing a Word in English
Production: 2002
The artist has filmed his mother who reads to him over the phone the rejection letter from the British embassy to which the artist has applied for scholarship: “I applied for the scholarship. The British embassy i.e. their Department of Culture has rejected my application. I received the mail to my old address in Velenje. Mom read the letter to me over the phone. Mom doesn’t speak i.e. has the knowledge of foreign languages (perhaps a little German). I made the subtitles after the sound of the read lett...

Evelin Stermitz - A Gift for the Moon (0:03:37)
Production: E.S., 2004
This video is an interpretation of the poem by Maja Haderlap. It shows a moving and twisting face in the dark. The face seems to observe the spectator, so it is a break and change of the traditional rules of watching and being watched at the normal situation of the spectator watching television. The poem deals like the video with watching, looking and finding something. (Source: Evelin Stermitz) Music: Iva Bittová, kapitulni sin, 1994.

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.

Evelin Stermitz - Concentration Camp of Ljubelj (0:14:33)
Production: 2004
At a cruel place, one woman moves; determined with pain, fears and depression but also with hope for a way out. The dancer is standing for the painful feeling of women in concentration camps, but also for physic and psychic discrimination of women in general. Actually this place is more imaginary and not bound to the real place as it could be any place where women suffer from cruelty and hopelessness, so it could be any woman who suffers from violence. The sense of feeling and moving is transferred into a c...

Evelin Stermitz - Rose is a Rose (0:03:53)
Production: 2008
This performative video work shows a woman engaged in covering her face with rose leaves. As a metaphor for the above and beyond term "beauty", the fragility of beauty and the canons of beauty, the video reveals an obscure image of woman, which is also shaped by transiency and impermanence. Excerpts from the poem "Sacred Emily" by Gertrude Stein, in which she created the sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.", form the sound collage to the video work.
