In the book Shaped by the West Dino Kužnik (1986, Slovenia) depicts some of the most famous symbols of the American West, the car, the gas station, the road and also the landscape. This body of work was created between 2016 and 2019 on various solitary road trips. Conceptually, the series stems from the artist’s experience with the Westernization of the culture in Slovenia during its transition from socialism to capitalism, after its independence. Shaped by the West is thus a personal and artistic confrontation with the symbols of Americana from his youth opposed to his adult identity. The predominant narrative revolves around the artist’s desire to move abroad and a nostalgic vision of the American dream contrasted with his reality of living in a foreign country as well as the process of applying for an artist’s visa. Dino has lived in the USA since 2013 and has travelled through Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada in search of his artistic expression.

In recent years Roman Bezjak has been intensively studying the theme of Socialist Modernism. He took the last series of photographs in Tashkent, in a "city as a symbol of Soviet modernity and an open-air museum of socialist architecture". In this experimental laboratory of modern architecture, only the countless prefabricated buildings remain in their original condition today. The devastating earthquake of 1966 enabled the emergence of an open-air museum of socialist architecture in Tashkent. Urban planners were able to realize their vision of a new city as a symbol of Soviet modernity in Asia. In this experimental laboratory of modern architecture, only the countless prefabricated buildings remain in their original condition today. The architects and building artists virtuously combined constructional requirements with local traditions. Oriental mosaic ornaments decorate the windowless gable facades of the prefabricated buildings. The facade designs of the long sides take into account the hot climatic conditions of the region with their concrete ornaments that serve as sunshades.

…The images of neglect and the attributes of industrial civilisation, the pictures of the core of the first five-year plan reveal to me something else, a time which has entered the memory. And which can only be reached through dreams or art. I can see Trbovlje as the destination of all expeditions, as the constant flow of light, a Trbovlje which to us seemed endlessly vast and limitless. A Trbovlje without the feeling of claustrophobia, a Trbovlje existing in the sky of our childhood. A Trbovlje one cannot imagine featuring in the title of a novel – A Black Valley – but rather in another title – How Green Was My Valley. And this strong and clear vision is ensured by Živkovič’s photographs, with great persuasion reminding me of the verse I recently came across. I do not remember the name of the poet. The verse goes something like this: “Whoever has not smeared himself with mud / Cannot hope to reach the sky.” (Uroš Zupan)
