Eyedentify Yourself

Thematic video program curated by Tevz Logar



Eyedentify Yourself has been produced in frame of Videospotting, the 
SCCA-Ljubljana selected programs of video works by artists from 
Slovenia that has been continuing a systematic research of video 
production started with Videodokument.



Eydentify Yourself presents the selected video production of last 
three years. It is focused on a young generation of artists and their 
personal attitude towards the theme of identity.

In everyday life we are confronted with different identities. 
Moreover, our identity is submitted to unceasing changes, 
modifications, transformations, Š our personal identity deals with 
questions about ourselves, our problems, persistence question, 
identity through time. But the spectrum of the word identity is much 
wider and relates to more than just a personal identity. There are 
social, political, philosophical, artistic, Š.identities. 
Consequently, there exist a lot of different views on identity which 
is also perceived through the thematic video program Eydentify 
Yourself.



Presented artists: Nika Autor, Natasa Berk, Vesna Bukovec, Lada 
Cerar, Tomaz Furlan, Robertina Sebjanic, Tomaz Tomazin and Metka 
Zupanic.
