EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the chilling sight of "The Tower of Skulls" created by the Turkish School in the 19th century. Located in Nis, Serbia, this architectural marvel stands as a defeated memorial to the Battle of Cegar in 1809. Embedded within its structure are over 900 Serbian skulls, serving as a stark reminder of the victims who perished during their uprising against Turkish domination. Each skull represents a life lost and tells a story of resistance and sacrifice. The Tower of Skulls stands as both a symbol of victory for those who fought bravely and suffered greatly, but also as a grim trophy for their conquerors. Its presence evokes mixed emotions - triumph mingled with sorrow. It serves as an eerie testament to human resilience and the price paid for freedom. Known locally as "cele kula" this macabre structure has become an enduring part of Serbian history. Its significance extends beyond mere architecture; it is a powerful reminder that even in defeat, there can be strength found in remembrance. Through John Bethell's lens, this photograph immortalizes not only the physicality but also the emotional weight carried by each skull embedded within these walls. It prompts us to reflect on our own histories and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
