-[[Antara Ltd]] was established in 1998 by Andrej Zdravič, who studied film and sound at the State University of New York in Buffalo. Through Antara, Zdravič produces art video, documentary video, films, video installations, performances, personal screenings and lecture-screenings, and also participates in festivals and group exhibitions. Zdravič’s multi-monitor installation Time Horizon, featuring the 33-minute film loop ‘Secrets of Soča, a Ballet of Four Seasons’, creates an illusion of water flowing in time and space across a seven metre-wide video monitor horizon, enhanced by a multi-channel natural soundscape. The underwater filming experiments were done with a special tool to capture Soča from a unique, as yet unseen, perspective. The installation was first shown in Zdravič’s Water Waves (1992), for the Exploratorium Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception in San Francisco. Today it is permanently exhibited at the Kalamazoo Public Museum (Michigan, USA), the National Museum of Natural Science, Taichung (Taiwan) and the Triglav National Park Information Centre, Trenta (Slovenia). New Time Horizon programmes on volcanoes, sea ice, forests and other natural phenomena are currently in the making. Riverglass, a video film by Zdravič (41 minutes, 1997), is a companion piece to the ‘Secrets of Soča’ installation and the culmination of the five-year Soča project. It was designed for single-screen projection, as opposed to a multi-monitor installation, and offers a completely different experience. Riverglass is available on VHS.
