ABOUT THE SERIES

The guiding question in
the work of Lucija Rosc is how to transform childhood memories into a visual
image and how to stage naive, misleading and fleeting impressions in the
present. The artist’s work process and its echo in the spatial
setting function as allusions to child play. Rosc acts instinctively, seemingly
without order, but nevertheless with her own rules and restrictions. She
combines everyday materials and prefabricated objects without excessive
rationalisation, and it is precisely their non-functionality and banality that
give the objects added value, make them interesting and bring humour to the
works. Rosc explores the formulation of memory by questioning the boundary
between photograph and object, the photographed object and its placement in the
space – photographs, like memory, are often a field for the staging of reality.
By exploring the meaning of archiving and preserving objects from her family
environment, she creates a family album, a mixture of photographic compositions
from seemingly random objects and her artistic interventions.
