Spomenik by Jan Kempenaers
A collection of works by Belgian photographer Jan Kempenaars.
This book includes photographs of the "Spomennik" monument in the former Yugoslavia, taken by Jan Kempenaas during his travels in the Balkans.
"When you look at the photographs, you can't help but feel a certain awkwardness. The powerful beauty of the monumental sculpture makes you forget about the victims for whom it was built. This is by no means an indictment on the photographer, but rather a testament to the power of the image. After all, Kempenaars did not start out as a documentary photographer, but first and foremost as an artist seeking to create new images. A powerful image that engulfs the viewer. He allows the viewer to appreciate the melancholic beauty of the Spomenik, but in so doing forces us to take a stance on social issues." - Willem-Jan Neutelings (excerpt from the text included in this book)
