Ana Čigon - Brezčasje / Timelessness (0:04:03)
Podnaslov: (poklon gozdu) / (compliment to the forest)
Produkcija: Plesni studio Intakt, 2008
Plesni video na povsem avtorski način, ki presega golo dokumentacijo, predstavi potek predstave in dodaja posamezne segmente lastne vsebine. Pri tem so uporabljeni različni detajlni posnetki avtorice, kot na primer posnetki iz gozda in ostali drobni detajli iz sveta narave. V tehničnem smislu je prisotna kombinacija dolgih statičnih kadrov in hitre kamere iz roke, prav tako pa avtorica uporabi različna tehnična sredstva za manipulacijo slike (ta se obrača in zrcalno podvaja). Kostumografinja: Mate...

Ana Čigon - Nezlomljiva / Unbreakable (0:01:08)
Produkcija: Ana Čigon, 2008
Avtorica v videu dokumentira lomljenje vejic na drevesu v gozdu; vejice se stopnjujoče vse težje vdajajo in na koncu, v devetem kadru, pride do veje, ki se noče zlomiti. Video je razdeljen v devet kratkih kadrov, ki se končajo z zamrznitvijo podobe, a ostanejo vidni v mreži pravokotnih okvirjev slike, zadnji kader pa se umesti na sredinsko mesto. Video je posnet iz roke in se osredotoča izključno na bližnje posnetke.

Ana Čigon, Cristiana Arena - Real Presence (0:01:05)
Produkcija: Ana Čigon, Cristiana Arena, 2008
V tem igranem, performativnem videu se človeške figure pojavljajo v arhitekturnih nišah in se postavljajo v zamrznjene pozicije (figure), med katerimi so nekatere dokaj neprepoznavne in nevtralne, a se v nadaljevanju stopnjujejo do prepoznavnih bibličnih ikonografskih motivov (križani, pieta, oranta). Video delo sestavljajo enakomerno hitri in kratki kadri.
