| Description | Ivan Foletti's remarks point to the case of the removal of the monument to Marshal Konev in Prague 6, but also to the more general question of the power of images in public space. "For an art historian, it is remarkable what role visual culture plays in this case. Casus belli is here to remove a monument, which until recently was completely secondary. It lacked strength at the time of its creation, and was therefore not removed at a time when it would make the most sense, "writes Foletti. |
