The object installation consists of several DVDs on stand. Cover page of DVD is designed with still image from the video. Represents alternative way how the video could be exhibited without screening, but as designed DVD object which contains the video itself. It is ironic way of exhibiting digital media on exhibition where is not possible to screen the video. Recalls on situation on streets where is posssible to buy DVD pirates with even six movies on one DVD that sabotage movie industry, a newest movies are possible to download from internet and burn on DVD.
