To change the day for night and vice versa.
Insomnia. Sleep, disturbed sleep, a dream, a nightmare.

“The authors’ collaborative video project entitled “Free Time” presents and examines a personal experience from a recent seaside holiday with their young daughters Indija and Izabela. Once the little girls fell asleep, the parents found some time for themselves, Which is normally spread out over the entire day whilst on holidays yet in the artists’ case it was squeezed into just a few blistering hot hours. In their work the authors examine the issue of compressing available time, Including leisure time, a common and often necessary practice in these modern, Rrapidly-paced times. The new video works emphasize the continuity of the form and substance of both authors’ works, Which often conjure up a mysterious, surreal ambient through repetition of motion pictures and a sort of video minimalism. This time their video projection approaches the subject in a somewhat altered manner, More suited to time and space.”

»Mommy, Wet Nurse, Caregiver, Wife is a rare example of a feminist statement in Slovene contemporary art. In her video installation, Nataša problematizes the stereotypical roles society ascribes to women (even today). Through her own pregnancy and the bird of her daughter, the
artist had to face new identities and the prevailing expectations of
society associated with them. In the project, Nataša Skušek treats this new situation in a way that is both self-reflaxive and critical.«

Threating converation.
The two artists ironically interpret the notion of “invisible threat” through the process of paraphrasing the threats they often encounter in the home, at the work place, and at school…

Isolation, chamber, floating …
»…In the video »Floating« the author is lying in water – she resembles Ophelia, who became the icon of a desperate woman. Reduced to the role of a pawn thrown into a web of intrigue when abandoned by her brother, used by her lover and manipulated by her father, the only escape is a hysterical outburst of vulnerability. As she lies there in the water on her back, and as reflections of stones float around her instead of flowers like in John Everet Millais’s picture “Ophelia”, she is the image of perfection. She no longer resists the game around her and she will fulfill the destiny others have chosen for her. But the yellow dress, her closed eyes and open arms suggest that she is receiving something. She realizes that she will play a good part, she knows that she will survive in our memories as an image of beauty…”
