“A moody punter is standing in front of Jan Kempenaers's photograph Spomenik #11 at the Breese-Little gallery in Clerkenwell, London, giving his opinion to anybody who will listen. […] With the help of a friend from Zagreb, he found a map showing the locations of all the monuments and painstakingly sought them out, discovering while doing so that most of the thousands of Spomeniks had been deliberately destroyed.”

“The most elaborate spomeniks were abstract, monumental environments designed by prominent sculptors and architects including Drago Tršar, Vojin Bakić, Dušan Džamonja, and Bogdan Bogdanović.”
