"Layers of water" - an experimental collaborative art project

Eleven artists from different countries and with different backgrounds (media art, performance, installation, painting, music) gathered on the island of Vis to work on a collaborative art project. Each day participants individually shot some video footage which was afterwards inserted on the daily digital-video-editing-timeline.
The participants were free in their working styles, but connected to eachother with the theme of layers and transparencies in nature. In the evening of each day there was a round table with presentations and discussions and a copy of the layered version was made. At the end of the workshop, a superimposed version of all layers was made. Some layers are clearly recognizable and others less.
The DVD version of the 30 minutes long project was shown as a projection installation within the of the International Festival of New Film in Split.
