Iz kružnog toka (From the Roundabout) is an audio-visual performance with 16mm projectors and pedals, based on the transmission of information from one medium to another and the shaping of meaning, staging a form that exists in the moment. Films, i.e. loops, were created using a photocopier, incorporating one's own photography (frozen reality) and the unexpected results of direct movement during copying, as well as touch-screen documents of the time.

Over time, Sergej Vutuc’s works reveal a tendency toward the study and structuring of a certain coherent space of ideas, feedback and exchange — where the physical often serves merely as a disposable clue or a pseudo-honest landmark. This applies to all humanly perceptible and exploitable frequencies and encompasses the exploration of image, photography and photocopy, motion and sound, and human happenings such as live meetings, exhibitions, or the production of a book.
The machine is used as a tool rather than celebrated as a technique, and thus interpreted through its pure design: photocopiers become musical instruments, noise turns into a publication, or meets the visual through its injection into the reality of Super 8 and 16mm films. Freed from arbitrary constraint, the facets of each fragmented medium naturally recompose themselves into one absolute ensemble. The resulting publications bear the mark of their immediate existence most evidently through handwritten titles — spontaneously closing, and thereby defining, the circle.
