There Is No Such Thing as The End
There Is No Such Thing
As The End is a
collaboration project between Alexandra Eldridge and Predrag Pajdic. Around 20
Victorian glass plates were discovered in the attic of a stately home in Texas. Once meticulously cleaned of 100
years of dust, they revealed images from a portrait studio of astonishing
beauty filled with haunting charm and mystery. This project contemplates death,
as well as delighting in life. Is there such a thing as the end? The images of
the discovered Victorian glass plates were printed on antique Chinese scrolls,
later painted, drawn upon and embroidered by the artists. A dozen scrolls are
accompanied by a video shot on location in the British countryside in March
2011. This project was produced especially for the Spellbound exhibition, where it will be shown for the first time. (Predrag Pajdic)
