Description: In the video Operation Painting artists Marijana Markoska and Katarina Kaplarski have filmed themselves as doctors
performing an endless painting surgery, where the camera lens serves as the operating table. White again is taken in
terms of the white canvas (here inverted flat onto the camera screen), the point of origin for a painting. However, the
artists reposition the artistic discourse into the place of a hospital (where white takes on a clinical importance). The
painting surgery is performed through smearing paint on and wiping it away so that the white light of the empty
operating table appears, disappears, and reappears. The artists see it as: White is the light, the extreme point; it could
be the beginning or the end; birth or death. Hospitals could be also considered as places of beginnings and ends (of lives).
