"Unearthing Nostalgia" by Bruno Xavier Michelle Ovanessians
  

The people of Bosnia & Herzegovina yearn for a sense of unity, once shared by South Slavs during the golden years of late Yugoslavia. The loss of unification in a diverse field of ethnicities, coupled with following years of ravishing war, have instilled an intense feeling of what was now only a nostalgic memory. The government inflicted Spomeniks of the Yugoslav era, now represent the conflicts further perpetrating division and plaguing the Bosnian people. Despite all plans of unification, a long-lost Yugoslav relic designed by architect Sasa Machtig became the natural unpartisan symbol manifesting a sense of community through its modularity, multifunctionality and temporal nature. The K-67 capsule adopted by all Yugoslavs as an integral part of daily life, naturally brings all walks of life together. Unearthing what was once a monument in its own right and reinventing a method of unification through the rediscovery of the historical K-67.
