The current project Soc-Futurism (2021) takes the form of digital NFT artworks that investigate the unique legacy of Socialist Modernism as it as developed in former Yugoslavia, from the 1950s to the country’s bloody dissolution in the 1990s. As a person born in Yugoslavia in the 1970s, I witnessed first-hand both the ideological apparatuses at play during socialism, as well as the macabre spiral of interconnected nationalism and sectarianism after 1989. The artworks in this project are focused on public monuments to WW2 victims in former Yugoslavia, representing the pinnacle of Yugoslav Modernism with socialist characteristics, now largely abandoned to ruin or destroyed in the ethnic wars.
