Tema umjetničkog istraživanja Neoornament je slojevitost lokacije na zapadnoj obali splitske luke na kojoj se od šezdesetih godina 19. st. nalazila tvornica cementa, da bi na mjestu tvornice stoljeće kasnije bio izgrađen modernistički hotel Marjan po projektu Lovre Perkovića. Nakon privatizacije hotel je dograđen, izvedene su razne intervencije i devastacije, ali projekt preuređenja nije dovršen. Hotel se upravo ruši, a novi vlasnici najavili su izgradnju interpretacije originalnog projekta. Tvornica cementa istovremeno je percipirana kao nedovoljno istraženi dio industrijske povijesti, ali i kao simboličko izvorište betonizacije. Pod nazivom Gilardi i Bettiza ta tvornica je proizvodila i betonske dekoracije koje su danas nerijetko u lošem stanju, zbog čega ih vlasnici ponekad maštovito i neadekvatno obnavljaju. U ovoj etapi višegodišnjeg projekta, autentična arhitektonska dekoracija s pročelja zgrade Dujmović-Stock u Splitu digitalizirana je pomoću 3D skenera te je u omjeru 1:1 strojno umnožena, pri čemu je evocirana tvornička serijska proizvodnja. Iako se lik prestravljenog izraza lica s dekoracije ponavlja, njegova sudbina se mijenja – razne intervencije nastaju istraživanjem rohbau i fuš estetike donedavnog stanja hotela Marjan, amaterskih restauracija originalnih dekoracija te estetike devastacije. Suvremene interpretacije arhitektonskih dekoracija prilagođavaju se vizualno-arhitektonskim fenomenima koji nas okružuju, pri čemu vizualiziraju suvremeni odnos prema industrijskoj i arhitektonskoj baštini.

Lana Stojićević (1989., Šibenik) je vizualna umjetnica koja djeluje u području umjetničkog istraživanja. U svojim radovima obrađuje teme poput divlje gradnje, arhitektonskog i industrijskog nasljeđa, zagađenja okoliša, suvremenih neostilova, devastacije kulturne baštine i transformacije krajolika kao posljedice masovnog turizma. Diplomirala je 2012. na Odsjeku za slikarstvo Umjetničke akademije u Splitu. Od 2022. je u zvanju docentice zaposlena na Odsjeku za likovnu kulturu i likovnu umjetnost Umjetničke akademije u Splitu. Dobitnica je više strukovnih nagrada, među kojima su Erste 3. nagrada 36. salona mladih (Hrvatsko društvo likovnih umjetnika, Zagreb, 2022.), Nagrada Radoslav Putar (YVAA, Institut za suvremenu umjetnost, Zagreb, 2021.), treća Nagrada Ivan Kožarić (Muzej suvremene umjetnosti, Zagreb, 2021.), nagrada Metro Imaging na izložbi New East Photo Prize (Fondacija Calvert 22, London, 2016.), godišnja nagrada za mlade umjetnike (Hrvatsko društvo likovnih umjetnika, Zagreb, 2015.). Sudjelovala je na više rezidencijalnih programa, među kojima su Residency Unlimited u New Yorku, Cité Internationale des Arts u Parizu i Kulturvermittlung Steiermark u Grazu.

The theme of the artistic exploration "Neoornament" is the complexity of the location on the western coast of Split's harbor, where a cement factory has been situated since the 1860s. A century later, the modernist Hotel Marjan, designed by Lovre Perković, was built on the site of the factory. After privatization, the hotel underwent expansion, various interventions, and degradation, but the renovation project was never completed. The hotel is now being demolished, and the new owners have announced the construction of an interpretation of the original project. Simultaneously, the cement factory is perceived as an insufficiently explored part of industrial history, as well as a symbolic source of cementification. Under the name Gilardi and Bettiza, this factory also produced concrete decorations that are often in poor condition today, prompting owners to sometimes creatively and inadequately restore them. In this phase of the multi-year project, the authentic architectural decoration from the facade of the Dujmović-Stock building in Split was digitized using a 3D scanner and mechanically replicated on a 1:1 scale, evoking the factory's serial production. Although the image of a terrified facial expression from the decoration repeats, its fate changes due to various interventions, exploring the rohbau and makeshift aesthetics of the former state of Hotel Marjan, amateur restoration of original decorations, and the aesthetics of degradation. Contemporary interpretations of architectural decorations adapt to the visual-architectural phenomena that surround us, visualizing the modern relationship with industrial and architectural heritage.
