Spomenik 4 Jan Kempenaers Balkans Outer Space Photo Postcard

AHOP -  This is a stunning collectors opportunity to secure this original undated but modern origin  photo souvenir of Spomenik 4 by Jan Kempenaers famous for works of art taking Balkan environments into outer space settings with full details of the work and its history on reverse and the V&A official museum logo too unused and mint condition

_From 2007 to 2009 Kempenaers toured the Balkans photographing Spomeniks, monuments built in the former Yugoslavia in the 1960s and 70s on the sites of World War II battles and concentration camps. Under Titos dictatorship, schoolchildren visited these abstract, concrete structures, which dot Balkan hilltops, contrasting sharply with the natural beauty of their surroundings. Today, many of them are abandoned. Some have been vandalised or spray-painted in outpourings of anger against the former regime; others have just been left to the elements, though their sturdy construction keeps them intact. Still others are maintained, but their significance remains contentious in the complex political lanscape of the former Yugoslavia. In Kempenaers photographs, the monuments appear otherworldly, as if dropped from outer space into a pristine landscape._
