Vojko Flegar (1958) is a law graduate, retired journalist, contributor to Radio Študent and Tribuna, correspondent, commentator and editor of Delo and Dnevnik, and freelance journalist. He was also an occasional photographer who followed early Slovenian punk, rock and alternative music with his camera in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when these marginal creative practises were not yet of interest to most "serious" photographers. His mainly reportage-like ouevre condensed in a relatively short period of three years is focused on the interaction between the performers on stage and the audiences' interventions in public space, especially in the form of graffiti. Some of his photographs, after being published in magazines and on record sleeves from this period, later became part of the visual legacy of this perhaps most subculturally exciting time in Slovenia. Over the last two decades, he has participated in some of Photon Gallery's thematic group exhibitions, such as Laibach Focus (2004), Children of Happiness. Punk Scene of the Early 1980s (2005), Pankrti. Nowt's Getting On (2007), Postering Forbidden. The Story of Buldožer (2015).
