Up now: Rebuilding Gevgelija's (N. Macedonia) distinctive spomenik, the "Monument to Freedom"
Modeled to scale in #b3d with reference images hosted on @SpomenikDatabse
Rebuilding Korenica's Bijeli Potoci spomenik in #Blender3d, using references images hosted on @SpomenikDatabse
Still a work in progress, I've been tinkering around with it in my free time

Have you ever heard about spomeniks? These concrete blocks are more than monuments: they are spread throughout the former Yugoslavia and recall Tito's Federation utopian ideals. Now, there is a mapping project @SpomenikDatabse

12.11.1978. godine, 35 godina nakon Bitke na Neretvi, na prijevoju Makljen, između Prozora i Gornjeg Vakufa, JB Tito je otkrio spomenik "Pesnica", djelo Boška Kućanskog. Spomenik je uništen 12.11.2000. godine. Lijevo sam ja 1988., desno je moj klinjo 2016. @SpomenikDatabse

#Partisancemetary in #Mostar is neglected, despite the fact that 30.000 KM (15.000 euros) is paid for the maitenance yearly. 😏 @SpomenikDatabse

One thing that I recently started noticing is how an “authentic” image of Eastern Europe always includes some dilapidated industrual estate and people looking destitute. So I tried to see if you can make Geneva, one of the richest cities in the world seem Eastern European

Spomenik koji krvari i danas ! Preko 50%, stanovništva je stradalo u mom selu za vreme drugog svetskog rata, što ga neslavno čini prvim u Evropi !😢😥😰

Tjentište is looking good. Grass has regrown since the landslide. The murals in the memorial house (pictured) have been beautifully restored, the new museum is operational and they've even opened a little gift shop. @SpomenikDatabse

Last year Yugoslovia's anti-fascist monuments were rediscovered by the architecture world. The Spomenik Monument Database is trying to rescue them from dereliction and collapse. tribunemag.co.uk/2019/05/the…

The opening night of Edith Bories’ exhibition on Yugoslav memorials. Fantastic to finally see her artwork on display, after our endless discussions about heritage, past, monuments, and memorial work. #TodayInMonuments #spomenik

Amazing to see the changes at the #Tjentište memorial in #BosniaandHerzegovina. The wings were recently cleaned back to their original white finish, then following a subsequent landslide much of the hillside has been resurfaced.

One of the few remaining signs of a united Yugoslavia in Split, a 1976 monument (spomenik) in memory of political prisoners interned or deported during the partisan’s fight against fascism @SpomenikDatabse
