From the series Time Remapped (2014) 130 x 190 cm digital C-type print, framed Edition 2/6

Alexandra Pace’s Time Remapped (2014 - ongoing) takes on movies that shaped pop culture and collective consciousness – the like of Edward Scissorhands, Vertigo, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Kill Bill I – only to turn them into large format photographs, each made of more than a thousand frames, chronologically sequenced. To achieve this, Pace programmed her computer to take a photo of the screen every five seconds. The mechanized process devised by the artist reconstructs each movie frame by frame, suggesting an alternative to personal memory and de facto subtracting the subjectivity of the spectator from the viewing equation. As a machine expropriation of a product that is part of our human collective imagination, Time Remapped reveals iconic narrative moments next to forgotten moods, visually compelling scenes and dead time.
