SYNOPSIS

Video work marks the moments after the intro of the TV news on one of the Slovene commercial TV stations, when the presenters silently look at each other. Their gesticulation, gazes at the co-presenter or towards the camera are stressed by editing and point out the moments which are usually overlooked at regular watching of the show. The silence and the image of the presenters get a special value in meaning, being critical, ironic and humorous at the same time and as such oppose to the character of the informative programme of mass media.
