Jan Kempenaers Spomenik's series shows these currently standing monuments as forlorn and forgotten in the countryside and the mountainous regions of the former Yugoslavia.

The Spomeniks look more like sculptures in an open air museum than the usual war memorials full of military pathos and thundering cannons as were erected at Verdun or Stalingrad. The monuments have been the objects of blind fury, and now of indifference. What remains is pure sculpture in a desolate landscape.
