Performances and installations
Performances, installations (digital photography), (interactive) videos, computer animation and sound projects are usually developed as a collaborative artistic project. Zvonka T Simčič often adopts a role of a performer.
Some of the past works include the installation and performance Second Dynamics and the project ad utero, ab ovo (2007) which refers to the author's personal experience of becoming a mother by artificial insemination. The project was used as a basis for the performance Festivity // PrazNIČnost by Zvonka T Simčič and Franc Cegnar presented on the exhibition Re-production in Sofia Arsenal – Musem for Contemporary Art in 2011.
The Silent Power / Traces follow-up multimedia project was presented at the Tobačna 001 Cultural Centre in 2013.
Background
After her studies of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana Zvonka Simčič has presented her opus (installations, performances, video and photography) since 1988. She has been engaged also in the experimental ethno musical ensemble Uluru since 1998. In 2001 an artistic duo Zvonka Simčič and Tanja Vujinović established Automata Institute, a production platform that produced several collaborative projects (video art, digital photography, video and sound installations, Internet multimedia installations). The opus was summarised in a monograph Collaborative Works by Tanja Vujinović, Zvonka T Simčič, Jan Kušej, and Dunja Kukovec in 2004.
In 2006 the platform was divided into two art production and research non-governmental institutions, the CCC (CrossCommunityCreation) run by Zvonka Simčič and the Ultramono Institute run by Tanja Vujinović in collaboration with Jan Kušej.
