In the piece Tape, the template for the mural on the interior wall of Kino Šiška, artist Lucija Rosc plays with the multiple meanings of the English word “tape,” which can refer to both adhesive sellotape and audio or video cassettes.
The mural’s connection to Kino Šiška reflects the idea that the venue itself acts as an adhesive for urban culture, bringing together various events across different fields and uniting diverse generations and subcultures. The background of falling or moving tape symbolizes the behind-the-scenes aspect of this vibrant, dynamic, and ever-changing process— usually invisible to visitors but crucial to the final product, whether it be a concert, film, performance, or exhibition. This dynamic process, though intangible and felt rather than seen, is essential to the realization of these events.
Lucija Rosc (b. 1995) is a visual artist based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Rosc graduated in photography from the Faculty of Applied Sciences VIST in Ljubljana in 2018 and earned her master’s degree in Visual Communication Design, with a focus on photography, from the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design (ALUO) with honors in 2022. Rosc received the UL ALUO Prešeren Award and was a nominee for the 2024 OHO Award, Slovenia’s premier national distinction for young visual artists.
