Description

Mausoleum of Imperfection is a collection of picturesque and satirical portraits made by Slavko Kruni that refute the idea of separation between the observer and the work of art. Th us, it creates a certain intimacy; we feel we are the portraits companions and they are our fellow travellers in an imaginary life. Th e comical fantasy of these melancholy characters, who are watching us from the images, allows us to listen to their life stories whilst observing them in their immobility.
Bill Gould wrote a short biography of an imaginary witness inspired by Krunics work. From this symbiosis arose an unusual combination of different artistic expressions, which was then shaped into Mausoleum of Imperfection.
