tkrst presented experimental sound a video works and brought up issues pertinent for Balkan sound artists. His videos, from his collaborative project with Boryana Pandova "What-ever Advert Labratory" were lively works paying special attention to the combination of moving image and sound. Images taken from television advertisements were remixed creating new context and new rythmic world.
