Curators: Vesna Bukovec and Peter Cerov\u0161ek
\nProduction:<\/strong> SCCA-Ljubljana, 2020
\nDuration:<\/strong> 58\u2019
\nPremiere:<\/strong> VideoGarden.2 (VideoDvori\u0161\u010de.2), \u0160kuc Gallery (9. 7. 2020)<\/p>\n

The selection is compiled out of the archive\u2019s new acquisitions and represents an insight into the diverse contents and approaches by authors of several generations with unique visual and conceptual styles. What they all have in common are expressions of varying degrees of discomfort and anxiety that pervades the present time.<\/p>\n

In Ur\u0161ula Berlot\u2019s\u00a0Inverse Space<\/em>\u00a0(Inverzni prostor<\/em>, 2017) microscopic visualizations of chemical and physical processes not visible to the naked eye sharpens the view of a parallel microworld. This invisible world can greatly affect our everyday reality, which we are especially familiar with in times of coronavirus pandemic. Irresponsible human action affects the environment and has far-reaching consequences for the planet. The picture of our future is hazy, which is shown in the two-channel video\u00a0Alma Mater<\/em>\u00a0(2018) shot with a lens made of melting ice from the Ice Cave by the artist duo P L A T E AU R E S I D U E (Eva Pavli\u010d Seifert and Alja\u017e Celarc). Inertia and unresponsiveness are portrayed as an ethical problem by Matev\u017e Jerman and Niko Novak in the poetic short experimental film\u00a0She Blinks and Flowers Tremble<\/em>\u00a0(Ona \u200b\u200bme\u017eika, cvetje drhti<\/em>, 2017). An unusual experience of a group of friends, reflecting the fear of the unknown is presented in the short feature film\u00a0We have all been here since forever<\/em>\u00a0(Vsi smo tu \u017ee od nekdaj<\/em>, 2016) by Ne\u017ea Grum, Peter Cerov\u0161ek and Matev\u017e Jerman. The existential fear and feeling of entrapment in the illusion of freedom is addressed with the use of glitches \u2013 codec errors that unpredictably distorts the image \u2013 in the two-channel video\u00a0I would go poof!<\/em>\u00a0(2017) by artist duo Lealudvik (Lea Jelenko and Matja\u017e Komel). The artist duo Small but dangers (Mateja Rojc and Simon Hudolin) also take a humorous approach to the manipulation of the digital image. In the video\u00a0Celavi_3.ppsx<\/em>\u00a0(Baldie_3.ppsx<\/em>, 2013), which is actually a Powerpoint animation, they make fun of the popularization of yoga as a widespread form of self-help therapy. Collaging visual quotes from popular culture and the web is a feature of Sara Bezov\u0161ek\u2019s artworks. In\u00a0Sextortion<\/em>\u00a0(2019), part of the\u00a0wwwiolenc=3<\/em>\u00a0trilogy, she puts together a story about the pleasures and consequences of irresponsible use of the Internet and digital technologies. In the music video\u00a0On the Run, an American song<\/em> (2018), Emil Memon blocks the movement he sings about with an almost static image and illustrates the entrapment in a world from which we cannot escape.<\/p>\n
