Spomenik by Jan Kempenaers
A photobook by Belgian photographer Jan Kempenaas.
This book contains photographs of the monument "Spomenik" in the former Yugoslavia, taken by Jan Kempenaas during his trip to the Balkans.
“Looking at the photographs, one cannot help but feel a certain sense of shame. Witnessing the powerful beauty of the monumental sculptures, the victims of their construction This is by no means an indictment of the photographer, but rather a testament to the power of the image. After all, Kempenaas didn't start out as a documentary photographer first and foremost; he started out as an artist who tries to create new images. Powerful images that envelop the viewer. He allows the viewer to enjoy the melancholy beauty of spomenics, but in doing so, he brings us to social issues. ─ Willem Jan Neutelings (Excerpt from the text included in this book)
