BIRDS
Janka Vidová
Janka Vidová made one of the first videos as a spontaneous student´s work when she was studying in the studio of new media at the Academy of Arts in Prague. The dream-like atmosphere evoked by the choice of archetypal motives (walking in the snow, white rabbits, old people, an idyllic landscape at dusk) was further enhanced by period visual effects (polarisation, colour manipulation, slow motion) and by music.
Jesper Alvaer
Jesper Alvaer's videos in a compilation from 1999-2004 make up a compact unit following alike motifs and themes. The short films show everyday reality which the author designs or just simply records. They are related by matching the camera eye, a game in which a simple slit through the objective creates a new autonomous event.
