Dayli Mail: Zapušteni spomenici iz prošlosti naroda
Sablasno
kamenje iz prošlosti
naroda:
Futurističke ratne uspomene iz bivše komunističke Jugoslavije stoje zapuštene.
Koristeni izraz ‘zapusteni’ spomenici nije bas adekvatan. Na nekim slikama se jasno vidi da su lagumani.
U tekstu iz Dayli maila nije postavljena slika Partizanskog iz Mostara, ali se moze vidjeti da ni na drugim spomenicima nije nimalo drugacija situacija...

In fields and forests they stand - strange, futuristic giant stone sculptures; some with jagged edges reaching for the sky; others resembling alien towers.
But these haunting monuments are actually war memorials of the former Yugoslavia.
During the 1960s and 70s, the country's then president, Josip Broz Tito, ordered their construction to demonstrate the strength of the socialist republic throughout the Balkans.
Erected on sites of battles and concentration
camps, they represented the past struggles of the nation.
Belgian photographer Jan Kempenaers shot these stunning pictures as part of a project called Spomenik (which translates as 'monument').
From 2006 to 2009, he trekked around the region to capture on film the structures, which were designed by numerous architects into the 1980s - and up until then, the sites were visited by millions of people.
Now, their symbolism has faded, barely registering with younger generations.
In the wake of the break-up of Yugoslavia,
the monuments were forgotten and left to decay.
During his four-year odyssey, Kempenaers toured the former Yugoslavia, now made up of countries such as Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia, using a 1975 map which pointed out the memorials.
Kempenaers was born in 1968, and lives and works in Antwerp and Ghent.
