ABOUT

Anthology of the Scream III: Afterparty concludes a two-year trilogy in which the NEST collective explores the theme of the lack of space—physical, creative, and existential—which strongly shapes the work of artists within the contemporary system of cultural production. The first two parts responded to this frustration through a confrontation with performance spaces that constrain dance and by addressing the body as a carrier of pressure, desire, and resistance. Over the course of the two-year research, the collective moved from struggling against limitations toward accepting them and transforming them into a source of inspiration. The third part therefore takes the critique of conditions as a testing ground for the emergence of new fascinations and an opportunity to experiment with a new performative experience—for both creators and audiences.

Afterparty concludes the trilogy by returning to the joy of creation as a form of work—to movement as freedom and to art as an unlimited space that can be transferred from the physical into other forms of manifestation. The project offers insight into contemporary artistic practice under precarious conditions, through abstraction, playfulness, and imagination. The research shifts into the audiovisual field and examines how the camera, environment, and music reshape the image of performative presence, how the living body imprints itself onto film, and how film transforms that imprint. Here, the camera does not function merely as a tool of documentation, but above all as an equal co-creator of the performative moment, altering the rhythm, perspective, and meaning of movement and opening new dimensions of physical and imaginative action.

Filming took place at various locations around Ljubljana, whose specific qualities the performers explored through improvisation in relation to materials and motifs from the previous parts of the trilogy.

The result is two experimental films that together create a multilayered study of the transition between the living body and its cinematic image. The first, a feature-length film by Enya Belak, employs a collage structure, layered imagery, and visual experiments that transform choreographic logic into cinematic form. The second, a short auteur film by Borut Bučinel, offers the author’s autonomous perspective on the body, process, and space.

The trilogy, which arose from the need to reflect on uncertainty, economic fragility, and the persistent lack of creative space, in its final part Afterparty moves away from critique and unites body, camera, and space into a single organism, whose gestures, images, and sounds explore the image of artistic freedom—a freedom that can also emerge where physical space is absent.

As part of the evening, an open discussion with the creators of the trilogy will also take place. After two years of research and creative processes, it will offer a space for sharing experiences, mutual reflection, and questions from the audience. The aim of the discussion is to enable a collective reflection among independent cultural practitioners and a dialogue on the themes that emerged throughout the trilogy. The evening will conclude with music, celebration, and socializing, connecting the artistic presentation with informal exchange and the joy of sharing time together.

VIDEO INSTALLATION

Part of the presentation is also a visual installation created from video projections within the Cirkulacija space. The installation develops the visual world of the third part of the trilogy and uses light, textures, and material elements to create a spatial, cinematic scenography. The visitor is thus not a passive observer, but moves within a constantly changing environment.

The video installation extends the trilogy into an immersive form and enables a physical and sensory entry into its audiovisual universe. It operates through multi-channel projections, whose interplay creates a living structure that embodies cinematic images in a spatial dimension.

The project is presented in the form of a projection evening, allowing for a multilayered reading and an intensive sharing of the creative process.
