A winter’s tale and a summer’s tale is part of the series of silent, usually monochrome video essays and meditations Silent Works, developed since 2016. These works dialogue with traditions of experimental documentary film, video art and early cinema and are primarily aimed to be projected on a large scale, often in groups and in dialogue with objects, installations and the space where they are shown. They are manipulations of Francisco Tomsich's own video diaries and sometimes integrate text, animations, drawing and collage.

A winter’s tale and a summer’s tale manipulates footage produced in Ljubljana in the winter of 2018 and in the island of Korčula in the summer of the same year. A draft of the winter part was exhibited at El frío (Guillermo Stoll / Francisco Tomsich, Galerija Zelenica, ROG, Ljubljana, March 2018), projected over a drawing made upon one of the video's frames.
