Pain is slowed down in slow motion up to the sensitivity threshold and is sold as an everyday anesthetic. We browse through ready-made catalogues of horror, instructions for use, we order attractive ideas-images; we wish to leave our bodies and become that image for a change. Watching a film, we forget about ourselves pretending not to be interested in the content; in fact, we are interested in the hypnotising, pulsating light, which is when we discover our magical and tribal conscience and repressed fear of life. (Dalibor Barić)

Dalibor Barić (1974), multimedia artist, lives and works in Zagreb. He makes short animated and experimental films, music videos, festival trailers, installations, graphic novels, drawings and cut-outs. He is also a music composer and VJ performer. His films are made out of ectoplasmic sensations enfolded in discarded, feeble snake skin of fashion magazines. A voyeur of reality, he uses film as a rearview mirror and reality as the ultimate public domain film.
