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 sculpture.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First edition. Oblong quarto (9-1/2" x 13"). Unpaginated (64)pp. Color photo dust jacket, spine lettered in black, over plain black cloth. Illustrated with 53 pages of color photographs of 26 examples of Kempenaers (b. 1968) massive outdoor concrete, steel and granite sculptures found throughout the former country of Yugoslavia. Text in English. Abstract: On the rugged, mountainous regions of the former Yugoslavia, Spomeniks are everywhere. You'll see them on strategic outcrops, lofty passes and sweeping plateaus: gigantic sculptures, firmly anchored to the rocks. They are objects of stunning beauty. Their abstract geometric shapes recall macro views of viruses, flower-petal goblets, crystals. They are built of indestructible materials like reinforced concrete, steel and granite. Some are solid. others hollow. The largest Spomeniks even afford access to the public, teetering on the boundary where sculpture becomes architecture. ()CLC). Seller Inventory # 50863
