Marta Jecu - Open Monument

"The project and book OPEN MONUMENT were meant to discover what happens with the information contained in fallen monuments, as a consequence of political upheaval. The project was based on a number of case studies, localized in areas of recent or past political turmoil, like Romania, Berlin and even Angola, Portugal, Japan - monuments that the artists themselves chose."
