Abstract
In my thesis I dealt with Slovenian art after 1980. In the first part I presented political background of the time and its influence on Interrupted Histories, the subcultures and Slovene artists that sprang out of this scene. In the second part I assess the NSK with its NSK state, the group Laibach and what bears the higher significance of my thesis the collective Irwin. I focused on the field of their work and their main message being that no totalitarian system must never come back to life. They manage to convey their point of view on the subject by reviving the original totalitarian systems. I concluded that in the year 1980 Slovenian photography gained its independence.
