Acclaimed Slovenian contemporary artist and filmmaker Natasa Prosenc is showcasing her video installation "Crossing" at the Los Angeles gallery Overtones. The exhibition is to close on 18 December, the US gallery has said.
Prosenc's project is marked by cynicism, a feeling of helplessness and a devaluation of all norms. "Crossroads" is a sequence of video projections which move from actual to abstract, from body to soul, from woman to man. The installation is a sort of a passage or transformation, inviting the viewer to go through the change, the metamorphosis and the decay of images, the gallery added.
Natasa Prosenc graduated from the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts in 1990. During her studies, she became interested in moving images and began making single channel video pieces, gradually including video installations in which space always plays an integral part.
In 1997, Prosenc received a Fulbright Scholarship and moved to Los Angeles to study film and video at the California Institute of Arts.
She represented Slovenia at the 1999 Venice Biennial with her video installation "Gladiators" for which she received the Preseren Fund Award, one of the highest national awards in arts.
Since 1995, she has directed numerous short films and documentaries, as well as a feature film, "Souvenir".
