Days of Pain and Pride, Goranka Matić Collection

After the death of Tito, in 1980, the artist Goranka Matić walked the streets of Belgrade for several days and photographed shop windows displaying photo portraits of Tito decorated with a black ribbon as a sign of mourning. This ad-hoc collection at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Belgrade presents the series of Goranka Matić's photographs resembling postcards and showing the shop displays of bakers, butchers, grocers, hat sellers, hairdressers and perfumeries, all arranged with one addition – the president’s photograph. The album’s title, ‘Days of Pain and Pride’, is ironic, referring to the press media at the time that relentlessly ran the story of the death and funeral of the SFRY’s lifelong president.

在铁托逝世后的1980年，艺术家戈兰卡·马蒂奇在贝尔格莱德街头漫步数日，拍摄了展示着以黑色丝带装饰的、纪念铁托的肖像照片的商店橱窗。在贝尔格莱德当代艺术博物馆举办的这项临时收藏展出了戈兰卡·马蒂奇的一系列照片，这些照片如同明信片一般，展现了面包师、肉商、杂货店、帽子销售商、理发师以及香水店等商店的陈列，均额外增添了一项元素——总统的照片。该专辑名为《痛苦与自豪之日》，寓意讽刺，指代当时媒体不遗余力地报道了南斯拉夫社会主义联邦共和国终身总统的逝世与葬礼的消息。
