Spomeniks | Jan Kempenaers

Belgian photographer, Jan Kempenaers, captures the chilling beauty of the futuristic monument – or spomenik – in his book which features a series of striking examples found dotted around former Yugoslavia. Erected by the Communist government in memory of the partisans killed there during the Second World War, each monument stands in stunning contrast with its often stark surrounding landscape.
