Ballade of the Hanged. Representation of World War II Atrocities in Yugoslav Memorial Sculpture
Finding the adequate artistic language of expressing and transferring the memory to the atrocities of the WWII has been one of the central preoccupations of the post-war European art. Although the representation of the Holocaust has continually been in the focus of philosophical work and artistic practice, the representation of other types of WWII atrocities, such as public executions, have remained largely underresearched. Hangings were used by the Wehrmacht and collaborative army formations as a common method of detention and intimidation of resistance groups and civilians, most prominently in the occupied east and south- east European territories. In post-war Yugoslavia, the idea of suffering, resistance and heroism of the working class and peasants implied in the image of hanged people, became part of the collective war memory of the socialist society. By analysing several examples of memorials dedicated to the hanged people on the territory of former Yugoslavia, we shall delineate new iconographic interpretations and artistic strategies in representing WWII trauma, which resulted in the departure from the realistic treatment of human figure, and had led to the proliferation of formal approaches to the subject.
