Norwegian artist, director and writer Morten Trovik stands out from the background of extremely cautious contemporary artists who are afraid of offending someone or getting into an unpleasant situation - Trovik has made risk-taking his profession. He organized the first-ever rock concert of a foreign band in the DPRK, going there with the Slovenians Laibach, whose obsessive exploitation of totalitarian aesthetics greatly agitated North Korean censors. The incredible, funny, sometimes scary, adventurous story of these tours formed the basis of the book. Made by Trovik and artist Valnoir, the legendary black metal album designer, it includes theoretical articles by Slavoj Žižek and correspondence with North Korean officials (from which one can learn how to negotiate complex negotiations), rare photographs of Laibach, spectacular propaganda posters, instructions for behavior in Pyongyang and sociocultural analysis of performance. “Days of Liberation” is a witty, thoughtful and very educational document that builds a bridge from the world of contemporary art to the world of big politics.
