Marko Kovačič, No More Heroes Anymore (1992, 18'15'')
Past Entangled Tense and Citiscapes are screening programmes selected by Margarita Durovska, including video works from the Transitland archive. The video screening is an accompanying event in the framework of the UNESCO Forum Balkan Visions: Creativity for the Future in South-East Europe and Sofia International Film Festival. All works in the two screening programmes are by artists from South East Europe.
Marko Kovačič’s video No More Heroes Anymore (1992, 18’15’’) was selected for the program Past Entangled Tense. The video is a grotesque on the subject of war in Bosnia. A game of chess as a symbolic and performative practice is the core of this video that is intrinsically defined by small mise-en-scenes, transformed mechanical figurines, and the performance of the main protagonists.
Transitland. Video Art from Central and Eastern Europe 1989-2009 is a collaborative research and archiving project initiated on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Fall of
The Berlin Wall. Its main outcome is a selection of 100 single-channel video works, produced in the period 1989-2009 and reflecting the transformations in post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe.
Transitland is not only the widest-spanning presentation of video art from Central and Eastern Europe but also a unique attempt to address and reflect upon an extensive period of complex transformation and changes. The project was realized by InterSpace Association Sofia, Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art Budapest and transmediale festival for digital culture Berlin.
