MIŠICE IN KITE / MUSCLES AND TENDONS
VHS, ŠKUC-Forum, Ljubljana 1984, 24'
Author Keller (Andrej Lupinc)
Cast Alenka Dolinar, Tanja Zgonc etc.

The only common point of the scenes with a woman, or woman's body, and a naked man in front of the mirror are the human parts from the title of the work. In the first scene we hear a voice-off cynically forcing somebody to 'move the fat ass', while the image shows this very act. Thus we can understand the sentence literally, especially in the domain of the visual, which is really a fertile soil for narcissism. This is evident from the second scene, in which a young man watches himself in the mirror. However, the self-satisfied displaying of bodies is finally disturbed by the threat of danger introduced into the picture by means of a fully-dressed woman.

Author Keller (Andrej Lupinc)
Cast Alenka Dolinar, Irena Hrast, Janez Štamberger, Dušan Mandić, etc.

Seven scenes representing stereotypes from horror films: horror masks, murders with sharp objects, a murder in the shower - which, however, differs from the classical film version in the video-processed horrified face, freezed to infinity. In most cases, horror emanates from the humour of almost homely scenes: a man changes into a werewolf while eating fried eggs; a girl collects chocolate candies in a meadow when suddenly a hand bursts from the earth and grasps her. The scenes are accompanied by repetitive electronic music.
