The artist 360 video that turns from left to right continuously which does not have sound, forces audience to focus on details of the scene, and to almost feel like standing inside the real space, as the sound and visual imagery creates something unique that makes the audience perception of place and time constantly shifting. It mimics the eyes of a human being and movement, through the slow 360 panning.

Moment of Silence is a co-authored project by two video artists from Rijeka and Split - Nadija Mustapić and Toni Meštrović. It was produced in the period from 2012 to 2013 at 3. Maj shipyard in Rijeka and Brodosplit shipyard in Split, in cooperation with the shipyard workers. The audio and video material from Split and Rijeka shipyard locations have been edited into a multi-channel installation, which is organized through eight audio and five video channels (three synchronous and two independent) to fill the entire gallery space. Unlike the classical documentary approach, the video sequences in Moment of Silence do not aim to illustrate ship-building phases nor do they intend to portray individual workers who are involved the building processes. Rather, they aim to convey sheer aesthetics of the industrial spaces and processes into an immersive sensory experience (smells, weight, tactility, sounds, tension, danger..). Rhythmic sequencing of editing and the exchange of subjective and objective film frames lure the viewer deeper into the work processes. The focus is placed on specific values of work processes in the shipyards, on the knowledge and skills that define the labor and the laborers. Moment of Silence shows how individual values are translated into local tradition and production and how they relate with national and global economies. Behind the current economic and political issue of the privatization of both shipyards and the end of the ship-industry tradition in Croatia, there is a socially marginalized intensive labor to which the shipyard workers are exposed to within the industry's processes. For that reason, workers are placed in the foreground of this piece - their movement that shapes the space, their gestures and actions. The installation's intent is to gear the attention towards specific skills and individual efforts, which compound an entire tradition, but which are overlooked and omitted from the context of a wider public discourse on the fate of shipyard industry in Croatia. The leading thread of this project is suggested by its very title. It implicates the fragility of identity, the existential and economic uncertainty and the post-transitional anxiety, and reflects the situation that equally permeates local and global contexts. One video projection shows close-up video portraits of workers, who one by one stare silently for one minute at the camera lens, i.e., at the viewer, i.e., at the opposite projection. The video on the opposite wall shows a slowed-down image of ship-launching, which, considering the current condition of Croatian shipyard industry, contains a whole new layer of meaning.

Evacuation plan renders a sound document of Tijat ferry, through the synchronized 18 channels, portraying it as an acoustic object or an instrument. The production of this work includes the recording of the ship's sounds, the realization of an ambisonic 3D composition in the studio, where only fragments of the composition have been prepared in advance, and the development of the final performance of this composition as a site-specific, 17.1 channel ambisonic 3D sound composition. In this process, the space of the MKC gallery is being transformed into an acoustic object of the ferry, one of the last of this kind on the Adriatic Sea. The project is realized with the support of: The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia The City of Split, the Department for Culture, Art and Historic Town Center The City of Rijeka, the City Department of Culture

This week of the most challenging part was to organise footage, and to find enough stock footage online that incorporate my emotion of control over education, that it is constantly limiting ideas that one can't learn through traditional education system, Only through kinetic learning, sonic, or various ways of learning and through ways of creating one can develop it own ways of studying and learning with out a 'teacher' or a standard way of creating and with out boundaries and rules that are set by the society morals. That there is not a particular way to learn or to create. The scene inspired (challenges education) implies human pure and simple desires and its implication to the world how certainly silent emotions are worked through its art and desires. Some metaphors includes water dropping which can show how one thought can inspire thousands and influence entire change of perspectives. As well as light and shadows that symbolise contradiction in our very own self and the societies laws and rules, nature flowers that shows cycles of life, which is all very basic forms of reproduction of life and learning. The use of black and white also particularly shows how things are clearly demonstrated or shown through its imperfection and that life sometimes is not full of colours but fill with disappointment and decisions that are once made and can not be taken back. 

This contributes to the final results as one of the scene, that portrayals how education has not evolved as one of topics of critic of capitalism, and how fragile is its system of education. This contributes to the situation of the lack of development through years of education. this contributes to the second last scene of the installation.
