Vita Eva Weisseisen (SI, 1999) is an intermedia artist, designer, and DJ. In 2022, they graduated with a BA in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, where they are currently completing their MA in Video, Animation, and New Media. Their creative and professional fields include music, intermedia art, and film. They are a member of the queer collective Ustanova.
In their work, they explore their current interests—music, film, popular culture, and literature—connecting them with personal experience. They often combine their drawings, digital graphics, and videos with text, creating diary-like records unconstrained by technique. Their works are regularly accompanied by personal confessions, experiences, and streams of consciousness. Through their art, they resist despair and systemic repression by returning to beauty, emotionality, and sensuality—an elemental form of expression that, in times of distress, becomes an act of resistance. This very departure from everyday hopelessness and activist urgency carries a critique of the system that seeks to erase what makes us human—memory, imagination, joy, and hope.
Since 2017, they have been the founder, member, and artistic director of the art collective Podmladek, with which they collaborated until 2022. Under the collective, they organized and realized cultural-artistic gatherings and exhibitions and managed social media. The collective emerged as a self-initiated project among students of the Secondary School of Design and Photography Ljubljana (SŠOF), driven by a desire to enter the art world and to exhibit and organize events outside of social media platforms. Over time, the collective evolved with a core group of members — students from various departments of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design Ljubljana (ALUO).
Since 2023, they have been a member of the Ljubljana-based queer DJ collective Ustanova, contributing as a graphic designer, VJ, and DJ. Ustanova is a queer collective that organizes inclusive parties for women, lesbians, as well as intersex, non-binary, trans, and asexual people (FLINTA). The collective strives for their visibility and safety within the electronic music scene and does not tolerate sexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, racism, or xenophobia at its events.
