DIVA Station is a physical and web archive of video, film and new-media art. It is based on collecting video material within a wider national context, and includes artists who work in Slovenia and/or abroad. It includes three basic categories: art video, events and sources.
Nataša Prosenc Stearns is a filmmaker and video artist who works with a wide range of moving image production and presentation, from scriptwriting, filming and editing to spatial installations, video objects and prints. The presentation of her film and video oeuvre, entitled Between Body and Space, is a selection of her work in four programmes. The first one, entitled Vortex presents films that were made in radically different periods and contexts: Concrete Man and Evening under the auspices of the Arsmedia production company and co-productions of RTV Slovenia in the 1990s, Tango for Fish produced by RTV Slovenia, Mud, Afterlife, Self Portrait and The Beach as independent projects in the USA in the 2000s, Vortex was part of the larger installation project Gladiators at the Venice Biennale, Construct was made from found footage of the construction site of Biosphere 2 in Arizona, the largest artificial environment facility for life on Mars, while Mother for Dinner was filmed as part of the Maribor European Capital of Culture.
