In an exaggerated gender specific communication role, a woman is constantly giving positive encouragement towards an unseen male discussion partner, without having an own opinion, or something else to say then to support the counterpart.

Ana Grobler - Soči (00:02:38)
Production: 2006
Video work devoted to the Soča River is composed of close up photographs of the author's face and recordings of the river. The intertwinement of both creates an impression of unusual worlds. As images of the face interlace into an image of the river, the limits between human and nature are lost. The face fades into the river flow and the limits between solid and liquid, concrete and abstract, known and unknown vanish. When there is nothing you can grasp on, new key points must be created. Video is mea...

Nika Oblak & Primož Novak - Baby (0:04:13)
Production: 2003
The video Baby shows a sexy blonde in a cheesy environment overflown by colorful balloons. She is posing in front of the camera and telling jokes about stupid policemen, which rather evoke jokes about stupid blondes. In the atmosphere filled by common stereotypes, simplified representations and sweet laughter, we can hardly find humor in the end and jokes become ironic and bitter. Baby explores the ideological structure of jokes and creates an ironic display of prejudice in society. (Source: oblak-novak.or...
