The original project looks at Slovenia and the work necessary for it to be built, preserved and changed. In the centre, there is a machine consisting of all those who participate in the Slovenia project, all of us who daily contribute our share so it can exist. The machine runs on music beats and movement. There is, actually, nothing inherent in the concept of Slovenia, only the daily repetition of actions that we, the members of society, decided represent Slovenia. Every new action of Slovenia is subject to negotiations and battles that change the entire picture for a while, and whether it will change forever or only briefly depends on the persistence of others. The production changes depending on the engagement of the participants. Slovenia is a society that changes (or not) depending on the engagement of the participants.
