The Living Art Museum (Nýló) presents a

major body of work by Rebecca Erin Mo-

ran asking what happens after the end?

What happens after the guns and the war?

After everyone gets trampled on the oor?

After a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold?

After the pointless plot po ints? Af ter the three-act

structures crumble? After the inciting incidents?

After all that damned expectation? After all the

leading ladies? After all the bit parts? After the

knee tremblers? After the butt plugs? After the

hashtags? After Munich? After the bolex? After

the freeze frames? After the pickle jar smashes?

After that fucking eruption? After the sun sets?

After the blow up dolls get blown the fuck up?

After all those lukewarm apocalypses? After the

pillow talk? After all that polite foreplay? After allthe Anger? After she turns her head? After para -

dise gets crushed? After you realise all relaxation

ever was to you was awkward? After getting lost

in the woods? After all the tableau vivants wither?

After all the happenings get happened? After the

experimental becomes the normal? After the New

Normal gets cancelled? After all the blissed out

hippie spaces? After the two men walk up that hill?

After all the technical parameters? After you change

your mind? After all the lm stock is processed?

What gets left behind?

Forever! just ended. interrogates the destruction

of linearity and the end of expectations through an

evolving process - an ambitious scored installa-

tion, encompassing sculpture, performance and

events which unfold over the duration of one month.

A project and series of new works based on

re-reating LAD “china girl” lm frames, the image

that appears in the countdown of every reel of

motion picture lm. Original ly, the images were

spliced in by lm lab technicians for checking

that the color and density of the negative is

correct during the processing and printing

stage of creating the nal lm. They were often

from a camera test of a young starlet or even

lm lab workers themselves; sometimes they

are mannequins, men, children or an entire

still life scene both with model and multiple

items of color such as fruits and owers.

The project is both about lm as much as it is about

the process and language of lm, and the four

dimensional space it occupies both physically ina space, in the making of the set and shooting

and as single frames that eventually create an

entire lm. Laboratory Aim Density is about

the creation in time of a single frame, which in

turn becomes a durational piece of its own.

Five Live Lo Fi: Screen Test Kling og Bang Reykjavik Arts Festival (IS) 2014live lm performance. 16mm 7363 lm. duration 02:00:00

featuring Marielle Verdijk, Erna Arnardóttir, Þóranna Björnsdóttir

Screen test is a piece that explores the

anti-climatic moment of beginnings and

the deconstruction of narrative. A dancer

practices her routine, the sound engineer

runs a series of sound tests, the camera man

sets up lthe lights, shoots a test roll of lm

and processes it. Meanwhile the set builder

simultaneously builds a set while erasing its

prescence from the projected green screen

live mix. The clock keeps on ticking, the

audience is waiting, and slowly the elements

disolve like a particle fall-out. Interference

looping endlessly as visual language and

meaning fragment into the unknown.

Concieved as a collaboration between

E.S.P TV live video mix broadcast

group from NYC and the artist.

Rolling Repeat Cycles & Turns Gallerí Þóka Reykjavík (IS) 201416mm lm stock 7285, viewer, motorized synchronizer, tumbleweed, air

The tumbleweed is a common nomadic

plant. It also symbolizes the passage of time,

rolling endless accross empty landscapes

in classic westerns. Some plants grow

alone, others interwine and grow as one,

but they have many “beginnings”. Eventually

they break o in the wind and roll. Over

time the tumbleweed becomes round

through wear; blowing from place to place

scattering seeds and a new cycle begins.

In this exhibition she has c reated a 16mm loop

driven sculpture. The lm image is printed

from original drive-in theater Intermission

frames. It has been printed colored and

reprinted. Through this method each

generation of lm becomes a distant echo

of the original. in a constant state of pause.
