“Black Holes” Bypassing Central European City between Monument, Document, and Mockument
Original language description
The article focuses on the lively urbanism of Central European historical centres in the second half of the 20th century, using a private photo album as the main source of information. If the common features are the careful preservation of the historic core, the more or less systematic construction of residential districts or industrial complexes, it is the selective blindness to the gaps and spaces 'in between', eluding any coherent or consistent urban planning, that is the subject and space of common practice. Indeed, it is precisely these areas, imaginary 'black holes', that can be considered as sites of 'naturally evolving' everyday experience. What does this mean? How to understand these processes? And how do we predict their future in an era of urban densification? For this speculative analysis, the current approach of Central European Studies connects with the history of art and visual culture. The specific triadic model of monument-document-mockument and the concept of the 'living monument' are used, developing a crucial link between both and contemporary urban studies. Theoretical insights are illustrated through one case study - the case of Olomouc in the Czech Republic, using private photographic documentation by local artist and designer Oldřich Šembera.
