Spomenik Means Memorial

Whoa.

Melancholic, beautiful and at times alien, these amazing pictures are by photographer Jen Kempenaers, who trekked through the former Yugoslavia to document Communist memorials. These structures sit as relics from a bygone era yet beckon to a utopian future. In his book Spomenik: The End of History, Kempenaers' striking photography transports us to this world and fills us with wonder.
