Synopsis
During the 1960s and 70s, thousands of monuments commemorating the Second World War - called 'Spomeniks' - were built throughout the former Yugoslavia; striking monumental sculptures, with an angular geometry echoing the shapes of flowers, crystals, and macro-views of viruses or DNA. In the 1980s the Spomeniks still attracted millions of visitors from the Eastern bloc; today they are largely neglected and unknown, their symbolism lost and unwanted. Antwerp-based photographer Jan Kempenaers travelled the Balkans photographing these eerie objects, presented in this book as a powerful typological series. The beauty and mystery of the isolated, crumbling Spomeniks informs Kempenaer's enquiry into memory, found beauty, and whether former monuments can function as pure, Powerful photographs of mysterious monuments in former Yugoslavia. The Antwerp-based photographer Jan Kempenaers undertook a laborious trek through the Balkans in order to photograph a series of these mysterious objects. Kempenaers did not set out as a documentary photographer, but first and foremost as an artist seeking to create a new image. You'll see Spomeniks on strategic outcroppings, lofty passes and sweeping plateaus: gigantic sculptures, firmly anchored to the rocks. They are objects of stunning beauty. Twenty years ago there were thousands of them, of every conceivable size, shape and description, but in the early 1990s, the majority of them were destroyed, dismantled or abandoned to the natural elements. Built in the 1960s and 70s, as memorials for the Second World War.
