Marko Pogačnik

He was a co-founder of the neo-avantgarde artistic movement OHO,[1] members of which were also Tomaž Šalamun and Slavoj Žižek.

He claims to have developed a method of earth healing similar to acupuncture by using pillars and positioning them on so called 'lithopuncture' points of the landscape.

In the year 2006, he joined the Movement for Justice and Development led by Janez Drnovšek, the President of Slovenia at the time.

In the last decade, the town of Nova Gorica, in which municipal territory he resides, has commissioned a number of public monuments from Pogačnik, most notably the monument to the 1000 years of the first mention of Gorica and Solkan, which stands in the town's central public square.

Since 2008, a group of his monuments and birch trees, titled the Hologram of Europe (Slovene: Hologram Evrope), stands at the crossroad of Tivoli Street (Tivolska cesta) and Slovene Street (Slovenska cesta) in Ljubljana.
