A short video taken form the mobile phone is made of images of trucks and buses that are moving along the road. Video is shot from the bus – that’s why, images are blurry and smudged. But at the same time, you can sharply see the sequences which most literally express the content of the driving vehicle(the truck-cover with the inscription, folded bags, drivers cabin).

RGB Foraminifere
2007
Duration: 00:03:49
RGB foraminiferas are shells mostly built of frequencies. They can be found in PAL, NTSC and SECAM environments. By constant moving and rotating they capture tiny pieces of light they feed on. Most of them live in cathode tubes but mutated forms can also be found in screens built of liquid crystals or LEDs. Their skeleton is constructed of dots – picture elements, pixels. Through evolution many mutation forms developed. Foras transmit “audio feedback” signal, on a frequency 10 Hz, inaudible to a human ear. Foras can not be seen with a human eye. Scientists use analog and digital media to capture specimen.

Ex Voto
Mirjana Batinić
2004
Duration: 00:08:36, loop
Metaphysical image of passion; scene of a kiss from the outside and the inside simultaneously. Kiss as a kind of passion’s primordial principle. Fullness without words, explanations, analyzing. An external image of passion. Kiss is exposed, giving itself away without aggression, without narcissism, following purely erotic – although subtly discrete – intention. Passion is shown in its rawness, like uncooked food.
Passionateness is in the very passion, and not elsewhere. There is no theatre, the passion shown is real. The inside and the outside become one. Work is conceived as a loop, endless duration of a kiss, with no beginning no end.
