Philosopher Marina Gržinić and art historian Aina Šmid produced their first experimental videos in the early 1980s, driven by the punk and queer milieu of Ljubljana. Then, as now, their distinctive experimental language stood out as a potent tool for political and sexual dissidence. Standing up against the Yugoslav regime before its collapse, their militant work subsequently took up the critique of the "most bloodthirsty” forms of capitalism that, since the nineties, has washed over south-eastern European countries.
ISELP invite you to discover in the presence of Marina Gržinić a selection of videos by the artist duo: Moments of Decision (1985, 14'); Bilocation (1990, 12’); Labyrinth (1993, 12'); Luna 10 (1994, 11'); Obsession (2008, 16').
This screening brings to a close a four event program devoted to Gržinić and Šmid organized by Our Story (CINEMATEK’s monthly LGBTQ+ program), ERG and ISELP.
