RSSSpomenik
How do we collectively remember? How do you design for competing histories, grudges and feelings as fresh today as they were 50 years ago? And most importantly, how do you best express this spatially in a time when place is in itself transitional? “Spomenik (Monument)” seeks to find the overlap between memory, place and narrative in making a memorial more of a matter of relational geography than concrete and manicured grass. Using a network of mobile access points and transposed narratives, “Spomenik” plays with the notion of signal and tuning to memories and stories buried in the ground and in the past. More importantly, "Spomenik" is an relatively easy to deploy, bottom-up, version-able commemoriation that the survivors themselves will help foster.
