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...

Ana Nuša Dragan - In Medias Res (00:47:00)
Subtitle: Artistic video portrait of Metka Krašovec, a painter
Production: TV Slovenija, 2000
Metka Krašovec is a painter, an outsider, a loner, a world traveler, a professor and a wife. She is a fighter but as a woman, she has no problems in a man-determined world. On the contrary, it gives her a lot of freedom because she doesn't have to get involved in power games, which means she can work in peace. The driving force in her painting is not the exploration of language but existential experience, inner necessity, love and the search for God. Her life story is first guided by film image, her...

Ana Nuša Dragan - Ifigenija (00:56:32)
Subtitle: A portrait of Ifigenija Zagoričnik Simonovič
Production: TV Slovenija, 1994
My main concept was to present Ifigenia Zagoričnik-Simonović as a woman who managed to remain a woman in the world of men. It is a question of a woman - an artist, from the point of view of a woman who practiced various professions in order to survive. Today we know her as a renowned Slovenian poet, a woman whose pottery gives meaning to life and independence, a translator and a woman as a cultural ambassador and editor of Slovenian poetry. The portrait is conceptualized, it is a matter of communication -...

Subtitle: Scrubbing
Production: 2008
Video documentation of performance made at ZDSLU Gallery in Ljubljana in 2008. Developing Compassion is a project made of series of performances, installations and photographs, which lasted two years (2006-2008). It represents the artist's way of noting the pain that she has faced with the illness, dying and final passing away of her father. In the first of three performances she symbolically let go of her emotional states, which she has stitched as pain, sadness and fear on white pillows. In the se...

Zoran Srdić Janežič - The Ballet Teacher (00:07:56)
Production: Zavod za sodobne umetnisti in kulture Gulag, 2010
The Balet Teacher prikazuje seanso baletnega pouka v lutkarski izvedbi. Atmosfera je zelo dramatična, mogoče nekoliko nenavadna za takšno klišejsko temo. A ravno to povzroča napetost skozi cel video. Slika je skoraj popolnoma črno-bela in estetika videa mogoče nekolio spominja na nemške filme iz dvajsetih let. Ura baleta se konča neuspešno. Brez besed, samo s telesnim dialogom, je avtorju uspelo ustvariti močan karakter pri profesorju baleta. Moška dominacija je v filmu zelo izražena in že v...

Nataša Skušek - Golica (03:54)
Production: N.S., 2013
Videoperfomans je bil vključen na samostojno razstavo z naslovom Pravi moški v Galeriji Alkatraz leta 2014. Nataša Skušek v svojih delih obravnava stereotipne družbene, seksualne in družinske vloge, ki jih družba pripisuje ženskam. Dela na razstavi so se na humoren način osredotočala na partnerske odnose in vlogo moškega. Video Golica spremlja zvok živižganja istoimenske ponarodele melodije narodnozabavnega ansambla. Žvižganje daje tempo potresavanju ženske zadn...

Evelin Stermitz - The Art of Aging (00:03:29)
Production: E.S., 2011
A black and white video shows the artist's portrait against a white background. With the help of a exaggerated make-up, which creates more and more age lines on the face and neck, the artist criticizes the exploitment of a youth-obsessed culture by cosmetics industry. Names of the rejuvenating and anti-age creams and related products are scrolling at the bottom. They are red out loud by a slow and distorted voice.

Nataša Prosenc Stearns - Mud (excerpts) (00:09:59 (00:01:59))
Production: 2009
Blato je zgodba o izvoru življenja, v kateri ženska izoblikuje samo sebe iz naravnega materiala – iz tekocega blata, ki je nasičen s čutnostjo, prožnostjo in kreativnim potencialom. Zgodba je tudi pripoved o razmerju med prosto spreminjajoco se naravo in določenostjo s kulturo ter soobstoju obeh elementov v eni osebi. Motiv igranega video dela je avtorski prikaz mita o kreaciji ženske, ki vstane iz živega blata in stopi na pot transformacije oziroma civiliziranja. Video spremljajo terenski posn...

Nataša Prosenc Stearns - Mother for Dinner (00:12:12)
Production: Koprodukcija: Maribor, 2012
Družinsko srečanje z obedom. Na prvi pogled zgleda kot povsem normalen obisk šestih hčera pri njihovi mami. Vendar pa imajo ženske blasfemičen načrt. Da bi ostale za večno mlade, bodo žrtvovale svojo mamo v mešanici šamanističnega rituala s popularnimi znanstvenimi izsledki na področju raziskovanja in delovanja DNK. Hčerke izvedejo sodobni okultistični ritual. Zgodba temelji na slovenski pripovedi o delovanju čarovnic iz 16. stoletja.
