August 10 | MONUMENTOMANIA: how memorials make war possible
In May I released an immersive experience on the critical theory of war monuments; MONUMENTOMANIA will premiere for an English-subtitles-reading audience on 10 August.
trailer and in-game trailer
War is possible in a society where it seems acceptable or natural, and war monuments — statues, memorials and even churches — play a huge role in the desensitisation to war and overt militarisation of societies. There's not much discussion about this because monuments seem to be just stones, but in fact they shape and direct collective memory, influence collective identity and in many ways determine the values of societies. Today, state policies on memorials around the world glorify war, presenting it as inevitable and unavoidable.
This is a project about how monuments shape places of memory, telling people how and what to remember and what example to follow; how power derives legitimacy from monuments and what the cult of glory has to do with it; how monuments influence our emotions and values by investing in the militarisation of societies; how monumentality compromised itself in the 20th century and what is replacing it; whether monuments can do the work of remembering for us and whether people really need to remember as much as monumental culture forces us to.
