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.
