Marko A. Kovačič - Song of Flesh and Image Was Made Body (00:15:56)
Production: ŠKUC - Forum / koprodukcija Marijan Osole - Max, 1985
The story of the narrative is based on the genre of crime fiction. The images are filled with citations from the history of art and cinema (Man Ray, Sergei Eisenstein) and are further stratified and multiplied. The dynamics of the image fraught with typical cinematic suspense is matched with the music full of suspense (Bernard Herrmann). (Source: DIVA)

Marko A. Kovačič - Naprej v preteklost / Forth Into the Past (0:09:30)
Production: Forum Ljubljana, VPK, 1995
The video deals with our understanding of the distant future, presented through a concrete example of the 23rd-century archaeology.

Marko Peljhan - The Park of Culture (TV situation) (00:07:44)
Subtitle: part of Media in Media exhibition
Production: Projekt Atol, SCCA-Ljubljana, VPK, 1996
If television bombards us with information, then this TV situation explicitly shows it. Images of earths' surface and human, especially technological activities on it are described in double captions, which look like stock quotes and differ in language (English and Slovene) and speed. The first line is describing, the second is explaining. The TV situation can be understood as a cradle for somebody discovering the world. The textual material is the translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of War and the compendium...
