The video is an archival overview of recordings and photographs of joint public actions and performances by artists Andreja Džakušič, Keiko Miyazaki, Iva Tratnik and artist Simon Macuh in the period from 2010 to 2021 in the framework of their various mutual collaborations. The naming of groups with the names SIVA, IvAn, IvAnKe and AnKo derives from combining the initial syllables of the participants' names. The topics of works vary according to participants, but what they all have in common is the exploration of everyday things and issues, from clothing to food and menstruation.
