Elizabeth McAlpine, Ends (Sprayed Sound), 2017, C-Type Print

About This Piece

McAlpine’s recent series, Ends (Sprayed Sound) consists of a number of synaesthetic C-Type prints printed from the terminal ‘ends’ of a 35mm film reel, layered, rather than arranged side by side. Here, the viewer is presented with a photographic ‘instant’, as a once moving image is made static, and a once collective film strip made singular, by the condensation of each layer of film into one composite whole. The specific ends become abstract beginnings, folded by the artist into concertinas of nostalgia and critique. Curtains of colour bleed through the margins, evoking the blotted paper of a litmus test, all the while referencing the history of twentieth century art – from post-painterly Abstraction, to Dada, and Fluxus. The colour comes from the part of the film strip that records the sound, endowing the works with a sensory quality, as their titles suggest. The ends possess the ghosts, the remnants of the footage - the ‘cinematic sediment’ of human interaction; the ends record the accidents, the scratches and abrasions – the memory of a previous image: a readymade, made new.
