The NSK State has an anthem, passports, stamps, and consulates, but no territory. Founded by the Slovenian artist collective IRWIN in 1992, it's a radical art experiment that challenges concepts of migration, colonialism, history and identity.

Venice Biennale 2017: Highlights The 7 spectacles you don't want to miss
And now, 25 years later, the NSK has a pavilion at the venerated Venice Biennale, the so-called Olympics of the art world, where more than 80 nations compete for the coveted Golden Lion award.
The NSK State exhibition sees featured thinkers, artists and social workers questioning what it means to be European, and what it means to be stateless. There is a passport office processing applications for NSK passports, run by refugees waiting to have their own citizenship applications processed. These employees will work full-time at the pavilion until the Biennale ends in November.
