Damijan Kracina, Katarina Toman Kracina - Marmelada / Marmalade (00:03:37)
Production: 2004
Are you familiar with that tingling feeling somewhere that emerges around the root of your tongue when you eat marmalade without bread and butter? The marmalade sticks to your palate and its taste lingers in your mouth for a long time. It's that special home-made marmalade, saturated with sugar. In the video Marmalade, we get to know yet another, truly practical usage of that sweet mélange. In some parts, they once used to spread it on the tiles, which were keeping the heat of the wooden stove apart f...

Andrea Knezović - Liminal (00:11:00)
Production: 2013

She gave them an assignment - to write a short story of their choosing, true or fictional, and focus on memorizing its general content. Then they were instructed to elaborate these stories in imagina...

Duba Sambolec - I Don't Remember (02:00:31)
Subtitle: NoHomeVideos©
Production: Duba Sambolec, 1999/2000
In a video performance lasting for 120 minutes the author with blinded eyes and heavy luggage staggers in front of a big projection following a rail. She is guided by a strict, ordering and violet male voice, which wants to make her get out of the screen, of the visual field and metaphorically out of public life. The movement on the tracks occasionally turns, the train goes backwards in its own path. The movement of the train is edited, usually with the transition from the darkness. NoHomeVideos© are 14...

Duba Sambolec - Questioning, Answering (58:25)
Subtitle: NoHomeVideos©
Production: Duba Sambolec, 1999
In the video we witness an interrogation of a woman with a blind over her eyes. Strict and somewhat violet interrogation is executed by the second female character. Eventually it becomes clear, that shots of both people were merged in postproduction. The viewer is therefore manipulated as is the video, and at the same time he/she takes on the role of an accomplice, as he/she accepts the game of the interrogator. NoHomeVideos© are 14 video performances, first presented at the International Festival of Co...

Production: Duba Sambolec, 2000
Video captures the author in a medium close-up, while she repeats the sentence "repeat after me" in calm authoritative voice.
