THE PILLAR OF SHAME (16.744 SHOES), BY CENTRE FOR POLITICAL BEAUTY

To forget is to kill! The victims of Srebrenica may only be one people with one religion but they stand for one huge betrayal of humankind. The Pillars of Shame will be a metaphor for the betrayal inflicted upon them by the United Nations and a constant warning to anyone who might work for the UN in the future. The Plan: build two 8-meters tall bright white letters consisting of 16,744 shoes (representing 8,372 victims).

The letters (“U“ and “N“) will be scarred by three huge bullet holes filled with 200 shoes taken from mass graves in East Bosnia: an unforgettable monument to the oblivion of Europe’s nights of shame. At the same time, it will serve as a weapon for the media showing the enormous guilt of the Srebrenica genocide that the UN bears.
