MANHATTAN

2001
multimedia installation It was pure coincidence to be in New York exactly at the time when Twin Towers were attacked and collapsed. Lucky enough, I got all the way to the ruins of World Trade Center to do some photographies and to record sounds of decay, loss and tragedy. The material from New York was rich enough to make an installation including photo loops, sounds from Big Apple and pure ambiental environment including Manhattan ash and special issues of the Time magazine. The installation took place in the main hall of Slovenian national radio which is quite significant data: media was strongly involved in bringing us news about the WTC attack.

SKIN.COM

2001
This is a mixture of different artistic practices. It creates a unique atmosphere of moving (performance), watching (video) and listening (music). The performance basis is a female body and emotions shown through performer’s movements and small moving cameras which hang on the performer’s body. The connection between the performer and the musicians/video-jockey, the VJ, creates an "orchestra of electronic communication”. For several moments the audience is able to see the complete space with the help of the performer’s cameras as well as the VJ who deals with monitors and screening. The observer can not precisely describe when or where the picture is moving, or which part of the body is reflected: the final resolutions of the constantly moving pictures and the whole space are always on different screens. The music resembles our mechanically oriented society and its development. The musical pattern is compatible with the movements of the female-performer's body, and defines the position of woman as physical subject (object) in the society and system.

LESBIAN KISS

1999
This was constituted as a documentary, involving research providing insight into the unequal legal rights of homosexual couples in comparison to heterosexual ones. In Slovenia, as in many other countries, homosexual couples do not have the right to get married, to adopt a child or the right to artificial insemination. The project clearly shows the attitude of the state and the public towards differences. By publicly displaying lesbian couples, I tried to capture the reactions of people within the field of the fixed moral norms which we, as a society, are caught up in. Part of the project was executed as a performance in the centre of Ljubljana in the autumn of 2000. It was transmitted directly to "Kapelica" Gallery and the regional TV station. What my research has shown thus far was that people do not express what they actually think, because the results of a questionnaire recently carried out did not correspond to the outcome of my findings. Seventy percent of homosexual couples tend to feel threatened in their workplaces and everyday activities, which is the complete opposite of the statements of heterosexual people regarding their tolerance and openness.

CROSS-CUT LABORATORY

1998

This is a series of photographs made by means of minimal computer adaptations. The main obsession concerns the human body, which also becomes a screen.

A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN

1998
This was a video installation made in cooperation with the Ljubljana's Women’s Center, where the installation was also initially presented. It represents a strong connection between activism in a social space and art itself.

OPEN MOUTH II

1999
The second part of this documentary was realized as performance. Both parts of the project are linked to the human body and especially the mouth. The connection is rather metaphorical, the mouth can as well be presented as a female sexual organ.

OPEN MOUTH I

1999
This short documentary is not just another presentation of anorexia and/or bulimia in the female world, but the testimony of an artist herself. Rejecting food does not only suggest one's personal, i.e. psychological problems, it is also a meditation on the perception of the material world of capitalism.
