Production: TV Slovenija, 1998
Video documents a day in a house, where both the main Ljubljana food market and Christian seminary are based. Lively, ordinary conversations with the vendors blend with scenes from peaceful clerical life, which goes on undisturbed in the upper storeys of the same building.

Through the narrator the author questions about existence of life beyond matter.

Ema Kugler - Menhir (00:35:16)
Production: Forum Ljubljana, VPK & TV Slovenija, 1999
Urbanity is finally erased with mythological rituals, which is defined by the title of the video film: menhir, a large upright standing stone from the Neolithic Period which was used in sacred rituals. A man and a woman are Adam and Eve who are formed before us with electronic transformation (morphing) and are marked by blood, which also marks all the other elements of the video image: murder of an individual committed by a menhir or the trinity (politics, church, army), bodies of dancers. Blood, murder and...

Oliver Marčeta - Jesus von New Orleans (00:02:50)
Production:
White background with black wires forming a figure on it, tangling themselves and intertwining until the created character pins itself onto a cross like Jesus Christ, compose an expressive animation video work. The depth is strengthen by a shadow formed by the interspace between the wire and the background. The author reaches expressivity by manipulating the material in its rawness and economy.

Mirko Simić - Dugtren (00:05:27)
Production: Bris, 1991
The graphic signs appearing at the beginning are immediately transformed into real images of elements: shaping of clay, a fountain, a toilet bowl and the flushing of water accompanied by the sound of a train. Images follow the rhythm of the music which links them.

Mirko Simić - Back to the Bible (00:03:41)
Production: Bris, 1992
The author collects inserts from various sources: Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, Lang's Metropolis, Reggio's Koyanisquatsi, archive shots, etc. Editing by the repetition of images erases their source, and the editing of associations; builds a link between the spectators view and the title: the creation of images as a ritual and the return to primeval man.

Production: TV Slovenija, 1993

Lela's individual destiny is being inscribed into the fate of humanity by means of layering the image; only television shots of the war in former...
