Descrizione
Riassunto:Geographical treatise of loss. Testimony, art and conservation of the objects from Batajnica is an investigation of Vladimir Miladinovic’s conceptual project with drawings of an 11-page list of objects (including body parts) found in mass graves in the early 2000s in a military compound just outside the Serbian capital Belgrade. They are reflections on the function of Miladinovic’s artistic work as an interference in the attempts to erase these and, at the same time, all other war crimes from the public memory. He tries to counter a discourse of contemporary transitional ideologies, which often prefer to cover up the past rather than reflect on it.
