“Taste me, I’m good…” by Mori Chack
“I often see pictures of smiling pigs or cows on meat store signs or packages of hamburger. They’re smiling even though they’re about to be eaten. Some are even in chef hats holding frying pans, as though they’re ready to cook something. But the chef and the meal are one in the same. Try to imagine humans in the same situation. See how easy it is to see what’s wrong with this picture?” Mori Chack
The Elephantine Colossus, built on Coney Island in 1888, was 122 feet tall. It was destroyed in a fire in 1896.
These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place (like Tjentište, Kozara and Kadinjača), or where concentration camps stood (like Jasenovac and Niš). They were designed by different sculptors (Dušan Džamonja, Vojin Bakić, Miodrag Živković, Jordan and Iskra Grabul, to name a few) and architects (Bogdan Bogdanović, Gradimir Medaković…), conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic. In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their “patriotic education.” After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost.
