We are happy to invite you for the launch of:
Jan Kempenaers – MEMORIALS
Saturday May 23, 2026
doors open from 19:00 / Introduction by Matthew Harvey and Q&A with Jan Kempenaers at 19:30
Comprising 255 black-and-white photographs, made between 2022 and 2025, the book brings together images of brutalist war memorials in the former Yugoslavia, built between 1950 and 1980, during the socialist period. Made over the course of ten journeys through the region—across present-day Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia—the photographs trace a landscape in which sculpture, ideology, and collective memory remain deeply intertwined. As Matthew Harvey writes in his essay for the book, “the entire landscape of monuments acts as a library and archive in and of itself.”
