Based on a theoretical text by Marina Grzinic on the topic, the video constructs a conceptual genealogy of video art and its experimental history in the East of Europe that is to be done due to changes in video digital production and reworked critical art history vocabularies.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0&#8211;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>OBSEDENOST, mini DV, 16.10 \u00a0min, color, produced by Grzinic and Smid in collaboration<\/div>\n<div>with CCC\/CrossCommunityCreation Institute, Ljubljana and The Institut de Cultura de Barcelona, 2008.<\/div>\n<div>Original title: OBSEDENOST<\/div>\n<div>Title in English: OBSESSION<\/div>\n<div>Written and directed by: Marina \u00a0Grzinic, Aina Smid<\/div>\n<div>Text in the video written by Marina Grzinic<\/div>\n<div>PERFORMER: Barbara Kukovec<\/div>\n<div>Video done in collaboration with Zvonka Simcic<\/div>\n<div>Camera, Editing and Animation: Zvonka Simcic<\/div>\n<div>Music selection and sound effects: Grzinic and Smid<\/div>\n<div>Spoken languages: Slovenian<\/div>\n<div>Subtitled version: English<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; The video OBSESSION \u00a0reflects on emancipatory politics and the possibility of a production of radical knowledge that opposes the new and old colonial context of capitalism.
