David Maljkovic (1973, Rijeka, HR) examines collective memory and amnesia in contemporary Croatia. Maljkovic's work consists of collages, installations, videos and drawings. His work incorporates images of dilapidated modernist landmarks, monuments and buildings commenting on the country's idealistic discontinuity. Erected during the communist era and left empty or deprived from its original use, these rundown monuments mark the gap between utopian heritage and disillusioned presence.
