SYNOPSIS

Eight is based on the story from the novel Moment of Silence by Tomislav Longinović (Burning Books: San Francisco, 1990) that addresses the question of disintegration of Yugoslavia, search for identity, personal experience of history and the meaning "lost in translation". The video was made for the Remember Yugoslavia exhibition in New York (1991-92), but Vipotnik withdraw it due to the nationalistic tendencies of Serbian artists. Video was presented as an installation at the Vipotnik's interactive exhibition Journey to the End of the Ends (City Gallery, Ljubljana, 2000). Video installation was composed of two screens placed one upon the other, each of them in its own rhythm following a personal story of the narrator. Visual contents are produced from the author's archive; integration of sound and image is solved with minimalistic black. The latter cursory react to sound changes but nevertheless create tension.
