ABOUT THE SERIES

Which objects retain their value and which lose it over time? Archiving, collecting objects, and historicizing past events are subjective processes, in spite of historical sciences and their claims of objectivity. This is even more inherent in our making sense of our own past. "Growing up" means that we have to go through the process of confirmation or rejection, we all have to discard or save the objects of our childhood and thus make a final judgment of their value. In this process, nostalgia and sentimentality prevent us from being objective, and old junk can be an invaluable souvenir. It is in the role of the latter that objects appear in the works of Lucija Rosc, who in her photographs and objects depicts a world of seemingly random or completely non-functional objects, which on closer inspection reveal that they are the result of meticulous collecting and archiving of things from her childhood.
