The exhibited work of Andrej Škufca uses video as a medium to explore and deconstruct conventions of moving image and associated problems of identity. The artist himself acts out a person with a high level of attention deficit disorder. The video screen appears like a flickering surface for surfing through a never ending stream of information. Each impersonation of the artists, appears as a split in the personality, a displaced identity formed by the dictates of the online stream.
