SYNOPSIS

Video performance documents the procedure of planting. Static camera records a scene in the middle of the space, where there is a pile of dirt with eight flower pots and postcards laying around. The author starts to fill in the pots with dirt, then she takes the postcards, places them in plastic bags and plants them inside the pots. She's adds more dirt, waters the planted postcards and then plugs earphones into dirt and seemingly begins listening. Occasionally she walks around the space and adds the dirt. She then puts down the earphones and walks to the other side of the space to refresh by drinking water, she fixes the planted postcards and starts contemplating. Video ends with the unwrapping of the postcards, which the author one by one shows to the camera and reads the text written on the other side. The entire performance has an ironic hint and a humours effect.


NoHomeVideos© are 14 video performances, first presented at the International Festival of Contemporary Arts – City of Women in Ljubljana (2000), in which the author is dealing with the experience of being manipulated by the agents of power and control. Performances stress the power of individual's will and intelligence in a fight and resistance against pressure and abuse.
