Liberation Days. Laibach and North Korea
29.99 €
Norwegian artist, filmmaker and writer Morten Trovik stands out from the extremely cautious contemporary artists who are afraid of hurting someone or getting into an unpleasant situation - Trovik has made risk-taking his profession. He organized the first-ever rock concert by a foreign band in North Korea, traveling there with the Slovenians Laibach, whose obsessive exploitation of totalitarian aesthetics had riled up North Korean censors. The incredible, funny, sometimes scary, adventurous story of this tour is the basis of the book. Made by Trowik and artist Valnoir, a legendary black metal album designer, it incorporates Slavoj Žižek's theoretical articles and correspondence with North Korean officials (from which you can learn to negotiate complex negotiations), rare Laibach photographs, spectacular propaganda posters, an instruction manual on behavior in Pyongyang, and a sociocultural analysis of the performance. "Liberation Days" is a witty, insightful, and highly informative document that bridges from the world of contemporary art to the world of big politics.
