"Visualization of Domestication"
“Zer Gut” art group, 2002, video 3 min. 29 sec.

There are three portraits of the group members laid out on the snow using sunflower seeds. The camera is recording how the birds are picking the seeds. At first glance, the video displays the fragility of “I” clashing with the circumstances of the outside world together with the willingness to be absorbed by the public, whatever its motives are. But documenting the contact and the disappearance is performed by the same artists: the ability to be the observers and the organizers at the same time becomes more important than the presentation and confirmation of individuality.

The artists demonstrated the possibility of a conflict-free exclusion of their inner world from the work of art, preserving the power over the visual spectacle and the attention of the viewers.
