Former socialist monuments from Central Eastern Europe. Most of these monuments celebrate victories and battles over nazism/fascism. While being the product of a regime, these monuments marked important historic events and dramas. During the socialist regimes, these structures played also a very important social role. These were the places where families used to gather during public holidays and where children would go for school trips. Today they are mostly abandoned by governments in denial of their past. My photographs are politically agnostic. I consider these structures as an incredible artistic basis of departure for abstraction and personal interpretations.
