'The Box' is a kinetic video installation which shows Nika Oblak & Primož Novak being trapped, trying to escape to the outside. As they hit their fists against the walls of the interior surrounding them, trying to break through, each hit is visible, since the rubber bends outwards. The work is influenced by constant exposure to mass media messages and inability to avoid its effects. It evokes detachment, the possibility to exist outside prevailing systems. Oblak and Novak's attempt of escape is a reference to an escape from an all encompassing media world as well as an escape from the white cube.
