Josipa Lisac: An authentic artist in front of Katja Restović’s camera
Restović worked with Josipa Lisac on the music video Paučina, creating visuals that resonate with her unique aesthetic and personality.
Working with Josipa Lisac is both a challenge and a privilege for any director. Josipa possesses a rare gift for transformation, turning every frame into a small stage vignette. In her collaborations with Katja Restović, the focus was always on expressiveness, carefully considered compositions and details that emphasize Josipa’s distinctive iconography.
The set was marked by a quiet, almost ritual atmosphere, because Josipa is a performer who does not seek out the camera — the camera seeks her. This was not their first encounter nor their first collaboration; Josipa had previously appeared on Fashion News, where their synergy and mutual recognition first began.
“Josipa is a fascinating woman,” says Katja Restović. “I deeply appreciate her fashion expression and style, alongside her incredible vocal range and sensitivity. I also truly enjoy our conversations — her refined rhetoric and brilliant mind. She is special, reserved yet powerful. She is definitely a fashion and music icon in Croatia. Of course, she deserved a Porin (and many other awards) for her life’s work much earlier,” Restović concludes.
