On the Sunny Side of Alps
2006
interactive audio/video installation

Based on historical, religious, psychological and psychoanalytical analysis, On the Sunny Side of the Alps offers an outline of the portrait of Slovenes. The project is a sound recording of the excerpts of four texts intertwined in a fictitious and humorous radio play. It is not meant to be shown in one form only, but it is conceived in such a way that can be easily modified and adapted to different media and spaces. Because of its state-specific nature, the project in the audio version is to be shown in Slovenian only, while it is also available in a video version (with subtitles) for the foreign listeners/viewers, or also in text version.

The work consists of the following texts:
dr. Janek Musek, Psihološki portret Slovencev, Ljubljana: Znanstveno in publicistično središče, 1994
dr. Franc Rode, Za čast dežele, Ljubljana: Družina, 1997
dr. Anton Trstenjak, Misli o slovenskem človeku, Ljubljana: Založništvo slovenske knjige, 1991
dr. Slavoj Žižek, Jezik, Ideologija, Slovenci, Ljubljana: Delavska enotnost, 1987
