Monument to Freedom – Conversations by Elena Chemerska

Publisher: PrivatePrint, Sofia, 2019

Format: Softcover 

Monument to Freedom – Conversations is a documentary artist's book by Macedonian artist Elena Chemerska, published by PrivatePrint as part of her long-term research into the shifting political and cultural meanings of public monuments. Through a series of interviews, the publication traces personal memories, conflicting narratives, and collective histories surrounding the former "Monument to Freedom," revealing how monuments continue to function as contested sites where ideology, identity, and remembrance intersect. Rather than presenting a fixed historical account, Chemerska constructs a polyphonic archive in which conversation itself becomes both method and medium, transforming public memory into an evolving social landscape.
