Very excited to receive @leadavid.bsky.social's new book in the mail! Her focus is on "desire objects" and their emotional power in shaping public memory and institutions. And @columbiaup.bsky.social has once again produced a beautiful book!

The book cover was made by a Serbian artist Vladimir Miladinovic. He collected the replica artefacts that were found on the bodies of the 87 Kosovo Albanians, killed by the Serbian police forces, and were found in 1999 in the refrigerator lorry, discovered in the river Danube.

The book cover is an original art work by the brilliant Serbian political artist Vladimir Miladinovic. Those objects are the objects that were found in the freezer truck that carried the Albanian victims and was thrown to Danube by the Serbian forces in 1999.
