Elizabeth McAlpine’s work frequently deals with time based issues as well as the experience of watching. In The Height of the Campanile , McAlpine has calculated the height of the tower and timed her shooting of it so that the length of the film in meters is exactly that of the height of the tower. Thus the time it takes to view the film, and the pace at which the camera pans up the tower are equivalent to the height of the tower.

Her collage works are made from the pages of glossy lifestyle magazines, from which the artist identifies colors, forms, and textures that she reconstitutes into rich, abstract compositions. Calling them her Fantasías, Wild’s collages rework the extravagances of consumer culture into beautiful, beguiling images of her own that seem to evoke unknown terrestrial landscapes, dreamlike architectures, and imaginary spaces. Elisabeth Wild’s colorful, bold, and lavish collages are the result of the artist’s daily practice.
