We recently worked on the printing of Heather McCalden’s huge 3 x 2m piece (comprised of three direct to felt panels) ‘It Felt Like a Movie, But it was Just a Photograph‘, which is now on show at The Royal College of Art, Battersea Campus, until the 5th July as part of ‘SHOW!’; The RCA’s Graduate exhibition.
“The title of this work comes from a very specific sensation: that of momentarily feeling as though your life has the visual quality and subsequent sentimentality of a motion picture. But, ontologically speaking: how is such a state of being constituted?
It Felt Like a Movie… seeks to answer this question, but from the other side: what happens when a photograph develops skin, a material body? What happens when a photograph takes on its own presence and its contents brings to mind that sensation of falling into a moving image?” – Heather McCalden
