SREČANJE, video-instalacija, 1999, novo delo za razstavo »very private«
»Videoinstalacija »Srečanje« je diptih, sestavljen iz dveh gibljivih slik, ki uprizarjata odnos med: A-privatnim, intimnim, posameznim, notranjim, erotičnim, prvinskim,
svobodnim, nekontroliranim in B-občim, splošnim, urejenim, zunanjim, predvidljivim, hladnim. Tema obeh je telo: A-koza, svobodno, nepredvidljivo, nekontrolirano gibanje in B-sence teles, odsevi, urejen ritem. Vizualizacija: A-ekstremni close-upi telesa v gibanju na belem ozadju, ki zaradi specifične osvetljave in montaže spomnijajo na plamene (barvna skala topla: oranžna, rumena, rjava); B-celopostavne figure ljudi na izsušenih puščavskih tleh, ki delujejo šablonsko oziroma shematizirano, ker nikoli ni videti vira sence (preganjajo se na levo in desno po ekranu in so obrnjene na glavo; barvna skala: hladna: drap, siva). Zvok: A-ogenj, B-stopinje, koraki.«(Nataša Prosenc)

  5. ENCOUNTER, video installation, made especially for the »very private« exhibition, 1999
  6. The video installation Encounter is a diptych composed of two moving images, which depict the relationship between two elements: A – the private, intimate, individual, innate, erotic, elemental, free, uncontrolled; and B – the general, common, ordered, external, predictable, cold. Both parts speak about the body: A – the skin; free, unpredictable, uncontrolled movement; B – shadows of the body, reflections, ordered rhythm. Visualisation: A – extreme close-ups of the body in motion against the white background, which – because of specific light and editing – remind of flames (warm colours: orange, yellow, brown); B – entire human figures on dried-out desert grounds, which function schematic, or pattern-like, since we never see the source of shadows (the figures rush here and there on the screen, and they are turned upside-down; cool colours: ochre, grey). Sound: A – fire; B – steps and paces.
