Mausoleum of Imperfection is a collection of picturesque and satirical portraits made by Slavko
Krunic 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 Krunic's work. From
this symbiosis arose an unusual combination of different artistic expressions, which was then
shaped into Mausoleum of Imperfection.
