When Plečnik reworked Križanke he had an inscription put into the plaster of the front courtyard: Minljiv si, le tvoja dela so tvoj spomin (You are ephemeral, only your work will be remembered). While this may be true for architects, it’s less so for street artists, whose work is often lost without record.
When I moved to Ljubljana I tried to learn the city and fall in love by taking pictures of street art with my phone. It’s now more than three years later, and some of these works survive unscathed, others are a palimpsest, and more are gone forever.
Now how many of these do you know?
